Guitarist Mick Goodrick once worked alongside Pat Metheny in Gary Burton's
band, and they have a similar sound, voicings, and eclectic approach.
Goodrick's 1978 debut as a leader was a strong set that had fusion, straight-ahead,
and even almost free pieces. He also headed a strong band, with English
saxophonist John Surman at his terse, animated best, plus bassist Eddie
Gomez and drummer Jack DeJohnette in fine form.
