One of many significant guitarists to be featured at one time or another with vibraphonist <a href="spotify:artist:4iovNkf44dsELmo3E7XSKX">Gary Burton</a>'s groups (including <a href="spotify:artist:25s8YpOLWqI2SgTlvapJyQ">Larry Coryell</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:14RXohtx6NiBGFTW8IdmAK">John Scofield</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3t58jfUhoMLYVO14XaUFLA">Pat Metheny</a>), Mick Goodrick did not achieve the fame of his peers due to his focusing on a career as a jazz educator. Goodrick, however, had his own distinctive sound. He started on guitar when he was 12, inspired to play jazz during <a href="spotify:artist:27hSR8e34ZM5vj5fUFixyb">Stan Kenton</a>'s summer camps, and in 1967, he graduated from Berklee College. He also taught at Berklee before spending a period with <a href="spotify:artist:4agzhEVtyMP2t2Oexr08fb">Burton</a> (1973-1976), recording extensively with the vibist. He became a teacher in the Boston area, most notably at the New England Conservatory, and toured with <a href="spotify:artist:5Pqc0ZFA20Y9zGJZ3ojUin">Charlie Haden</a>'s Liberation Orchestra in 1985; he worked with <a href="spotify:artist:7rDjbKTLlpNYJRWMm7QVxU">Jack DeJohnette</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:0ubnN8VlgkD4nE25WI3LMm">Special Edition</a> in the late '80s. Goodrick recorded as a leader much too infrequently, with an <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22ECM%22">ECM</a> date in 1978 and sessions in the '90s for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22CMP%22">CMP</a>, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Novus%22">Novus</a>, and Ram. Mick Goodrick died on November 16, 2022, from Parkinson's Disease; he was 77 years of age. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
