A Noted Composer/Pianist Returns to the
Well-Spring with his 2001 release
Going Home

In an era of sterile, perfect recordings, Going Home, recorded live in his studio, presents a decidedly organic ensemble: Goldberg on piano, his brother, Kenny, on saxes and flute, and the rhythm section of Jeff Falkner and Dave Renick on bass and drums, respectively. “It's all about communication,” stresses Goldberg, “player interaction.”

At the resonant heart of the recording is the title cut, a solo piano piece. “It was a total improvisation,” Goldberg recounts, “I just turned on the machine and went for it -- one take, one thing, that's it. I have this wonderful instrument in this amazing studio and I said, 'I want to make music about what I'm feeling at this moment -- for myself, and for whoever wants to listen to it.'”

Millions of people have already listened to Stu Goldberg. Born in Malden, Massachusetts and raised in Seattle, by age 17 he was a featured keyboard soloist at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Soon he expanded into studio dates and tours; a five year stint with John McLaughlin in the legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra; with Al DiMeola, Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Billy Cobham, Jack Bruce, Larry Coryell, Alphonse Mouzon, and other jazz luminaries. Goldberg toured Europe as a soloist. He began recording for record labels including MPS and Pausa and returned to Los Angeles to begin working as a session musician, helping composers with orchestrations, and building his recording studio.

Goldberg's film credits include performing on scores by such esteemed composers as John Williams (for whom he was a featured keyboardist on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade); Jerry Goldsmith, David Newman and Lalo Schifrin. The composers who utilized his studio also provided first-hand insight on the techniques of combining music and picture. “Working on a one-on-one basis -- just me and the composer -- was an amazing education. I've seen two hundred composers solve problems in different ways. The same applies to jazz: there are so many ways to solve situations, resolve a chord, finish a composition, structure a song. I feel fortunate in having this education; I could never have learned this in school.”

Stu has used his precious knowledge to advance his own rapidly accelerating career as a composer. His film and TV scores have garnered awards and entertained audiences worldwide. He has scored feature films, television movies, dramatic episodes, documentaries and animated series. His music has been heard in an entry at the Cannes Film Festival, in a Peabody-winning television series, and he was presented with a 1999 CINE Golden Eagle Award and two consecutive BMI Composer Awards. Currently, he’s composing for the CBS primetime series, “The Amazing Race”, Jerry Bruckheimer Films/ Touchstone/ CBS/ Bertram Van Munster, producers. Meanwhile, his Stu Goldberg Studios, with a 30-man capacity tracking room and advanced post-production facilities, hosts film and television sessions and recording artists.

Now, Stu Goldberg has arrived at another crossroads, but there is a signpost that points him to one familiar destination. Going Home is more than a title; it is the perfect metaphor for his continuing career evolution. Though it is a new work, it is a testament to Goldberg's venerable history, vital present and illustrious future; a milestone recording that resonates with the power of pure inspiration. “Going Home reflects going back to what I feel I was put on this planet to do,” Stu Goldberg confirms, “which is to play the piano and write my own music.”

Dan Kimpel, July 2001
