Sweet Science is a highly acclaimed studio album by the Larry Goldings Trio, released on June 25, 2002, through Palmetto Records. “This is the trio’s fifth album, and it demonstrates the advantages of a steady group. Instead of competitive soloing, there is a sense of continuity as the spotlight changes from member to member. Goldings, Bernstein and Stewart have charted a welcome, clear course into the cooler, more contemplative yet still grooving organ trio sound (JazzTimes).

Reception.

The AllMusic review by Paula Edelstein awarded the album 4.5 stars out of 5 and stated:”More varied in both artistic scope and musical technique than his previous effort, Sweet Science surpasses the standards of Goldings’ unique compositional instincts heard on As One. A brilliant effort.”
