I was lucky enough to hear Mick Goodrick play with two of Boston's finest band leaders. The first was when Mick toured with vibraphonist Gary Burton, in 1982. A couple of years later, I caught saxophonist Jimmy Mosher and his band also featured Mick Goodrick on guitar. Mick cut quite a figure, sitting on a stool, listening intently as he comped, and playing gorgeous, understated solos.
Here are Pat Metheny and Mick Goodrick, covering one of Antonio Carlos Jobim's beautiful tunes, MEDITATION. It's a good way to ease into the work week.
This is THE BAT. Saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi was the bandleader on this particular date. He's no slouch either!
Good luck out there today.
