Mick Goodrick (9. Juni 1945–16. November 2022)
Mick Goodrick, a guitarist and teacher who was arguably the most influential guitar pedagogue in the history of jazz, died November 16 at his home in Boston, Mass. He was 77.
His death was confirmed by the Guitar Department at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, which employed Goodrick off and on for almost 50 years. The cause of death was complications from COVID-19. He had also recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
An accomplished performer in his own right, Goodrick worked with John Abercrombie and Jack DeJohnette, toured with Gary Burton and Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden’s Liberation Music Orchestra, and briefly worked with the Woody Herman Orchestra. He found his true calling, however, as an educator. He was a faculty member at both Berklee and the New England Conservatory of Music, where his students included John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Mike Stern, Rale Micic, Lage Lund, Wolfgang Muthspiel, and Julian Lage.
