Live and act

Goodrick began to play guitar under the influence of Stan Kenton's summer camps at the age of eleven and studied at Berklee College of Music until 1967 , where he also taught. His first recordings were made in Chicago in 1970 when he played with Woody Herman and His Orchestra ( Woody , Cadet). From 1973 to 1976 he worked with the vibraphonist Gary Burton , with whom he also recorded several albums such as The New Quartet and In The Public Interest .

Since then, Goodrick has taught at Berklee College and the New England Conservatory and has only performed sporadically as a musician. In 1985 he toured with Charlie Haden's Liberation Orchestra , and in the late 1980s he worked with Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition . He has also been the sideman of Pat Metheny , John Scofield , Paul Motian , Dewey Redman , John Abercrombie , Dave Liebman , Joe Diorio , Steve Swallow , Mika Pohjola and others.

Goodrick released several albums under his own name from the 1970s.
