Jerry Goodman Perputuum Mobile

[oncehipster]

the plucking parts remind me of raindrops falling.

[BillySherwoodHQ]

Great stuff !!

[grashiano1]

excelent, thank's for posting!

Un tema excelente de jerry Goodman, aunque desconozco en qué álbum encontrarlo.

[tristandespres]

What I wrote is, what the artist wanted me to write! The Mahavishnu Orchestra? Shameful? I saw them almost 30 times, Believe me I am quite familiar with the one you refer to, as the "poor Bugger", my close friend.

@tristandespres

Greetings Tristan! Thanks for all the great Goodman posts. It looks like Jerry let his website name slip away last year. Perhaps you could pester him to put something minimal up; we fans would love to at least know of his upcoming gigs with other musicians. "Does he looks dead?" That one had me falling out of the computer chair laughing!

By the way, World Affair gets a lot of spins in me cd player - a terrific recording. Hope I can find your other one state-side some day.

[danteism]

At least give the poor bugger the proper assignment if you're suggesting homework. Mention of The Flock and and not Mahavishnu Orchestra? Shameful. :)

[crisrefuse]

The Master! What a genius!!

The best rock fusion violinst ever

[dreyxxyz]

Great Video-good to see both Mahavishnu Orchestra, and the Jerry Goodman/Jan Hammer songs from Like Children on Youtube-appreciate this fact-back in 1973, & 1974, if you didn't have the album, you didn't get to hear the music. Thanks to Youtube for allowing us a platform to keep the Arts alive and in "the now".

[truartemedia]

Jan is getting soft, too many royalties does not make one royal

This song like Jerry -- Inspired

Maha still the man

[Zuberzuber]

very nice



[jbmadhouse]

awesome guy awesome music he is above what man can do best

[hotlanta71]

jerry goodman has a signature sound when he is blazing that is absolutely unmatched and unmistakable

[manoelcaraballo1]

He was from Flock of Seagulls then joined the Mahavishnu Orchestra w/ John McLaughlin... then joined Steve Morse in the Dixie Dregs... he was on Birds of Fire, hey this is a higher order of playing really... this composition has a strong Dregs flavour to it... and he is the king of pizzicato, the plucking of a string on violin... just outstanding all the way...

[MrBlasticus]

@manoelcaraballo1 um, this is too funny. Jerry was not in Flock of Seagulls. He was in a band called The Flock before joining the original Mahavishnu Orchestra.

[manoelcaraballo1]

@MrBlasticus

Right you are, MrBlast... I stand corrected, thanks!

[manoelcaraballo1]

He was from Flock of Seagulls then joined the Mahavishnu Orchestra w/ John McLaughlin... then joined Steve Morse in the Dixie Dregs... he was on Birds of Fire, hey this is a higher order of playing really... this composition has a strong Dregs flavour to it... and he is the king of pizzicato, the plucking of a string on violin... just outstanding all the way...

[Beadbud5000]

Phenomenal! Jerry Goodman also had a recording I heard in the mid to late 80's that I liked too.

[slideede]

I'm a great fan of Jerry Goodman since I saw him and heard his magic violin when I was 13 years old - I'm looking everywhere of some material from him - so sorry that he had left The Mahavishnu Orchestra when I saw John McLaughlin with Jean Luc Ponty in the Netherlands in 1974. I think that the electric violin is the the perfect instrument for Jazz - Rock Music - I enjoy it very much - thanks for posting.

[processfitness]

Yes, thank you. I first saw Jerry play with the Flock. I look forward to the web-site.

[GMD825]

This video just shows who has the best sound on the violin....He's always has been my favorite ....!

[prewash501]

This Jerry Goodman was at practice in the 1960's before the Flock years before! After 45-years he stands apart from anyone at his craft. And I can tell you this from fact I went to Roger's with him back in ,,,,,,,,,,,,jpb

[05ric]

Great solo!!! :)

[maidoodesu]

Nice ! into it...

[progbc]

Nice!!!!!

[FoxtronInk]

Where is the website ? jajajajajaj this guy wants to get  fame........whatta scam!

[nlokey]

Boy are you ever wrong!!!! This guy is famous already and the fact that you don't know who he is puts you in a league of your opinion is worthless to be put on YouTube or anywhere else that has music in it. The Flock do your homework before you take the test. ROFL

[TNVVNUMdotcom]

So... where's the website then?

[sidhrtha]

you are and always will be the best electric violinist i have ever heard, seen, or ever want to see again. you smoke them all, plz start recording again, and with me plzzzzzzzzz

[00s00m]

Ha!!! Loved the montage, and cool to see a pic of him from the Mahavishnu days...

[SanjibanSellew]

Even if your web site never opens up Jerry, this song is all I need from you. This unnamed song is so extraordinary in its beauty. We are lucky to see a musician like you perform with veteran talent and soul.

I hope you are well.

[mmaier2112]

If you don't have it, get "The Stranger's Hand". Crazy fusion with monster playing from Jerry and everyone else.

His work with Derek Sherinian is great too. Monster heavy metal fusion with violins... whoulda thunk it?

[LeeNysted]

A miracle player for all the world ... peace and God bless you my friend...it has been a long time........Lee Nysted

[nesamilenkovic]

Beautiful music!

[tigerarmyneverdie66]

what an amazing person he is! wow what a sound coming from an amazing instrument! i want this played at my funeral im 20 but i know that jerrys work will ALWAYS be there! loe ya jerry man come to england and show people here how its DONE! XXXXX

[CosmicTraveler]

Hey, I've been a big fan of Jerry's since the Flock! Does anyone know how to contact him! I just want to say hello as a fellow musician and tell him how much I've enjoyed his work.

[Zahira905]

Could you tell me please the title of this Jerry Goodman's piece? Thank you!

[funone2no]

I was at the taping of his Live CD in 1987 Park West Chicago,IL

I love you Jerry!

[Aevaspora]

awesome!

[beethovenboy]

Jerry's dope!

[AllyTheFiddle]

My great idol!!! I really admire his work! #Ally (german violinist)

[hclr2]

is he dead??

[tristandespres]

Does he look, or sound dead????

[TheTimananda]

@tristandespres

ah-h-h, mais M. Tristan, où est-il maintenant ?

[mcschmitt]

sure not.

it s alive is the name of his last cd. you should buy it.

jerry goodman was not only the teacher of the guitarplayer john mc laughlin.

he created people as jean luc ponty or lockwood.

he s influenced steve vai,and every good musician knows him and put s his hat off just by hearing his name.i wish i could meet him someday.

i would fall on my knees and thank the lord,that he gives ME the pleasure.

[dieufonauten]

no,he s alive as never before.

[EmmaIndoril]

@hclr2

It's alive !

[halfmonk]

@hclr2 no, he's not dead. he played in my group, shadowfax, for a while. jerry is alive and still making great music. he's also great guy.

[airehead11]

@halfmonk

No silly G.E., it's all done with Disney animatronics that make Jerry's hands move really fast just like when he was alive.... You gotta love what the youtube trolls will come up with.

Saw you & the boys lots of times around the northern Bay Area way back, including one of the first live gigs you did with Goodman (at the Cabaret in San Jose) after Charlie B. left.

Glad you are still kicking. Cheers

[halfmonk]

@airehead11 ah yes. the gigs with jerry were lots of fun. as far as violinists go, jerry was the best soloist we had. it was also fun to be on tour with him and hear all the mahavishnu war stories. peace.

[jettbugg]

A really great violin player!...I remember him form Flock days...We have come a long way!...thanks for post!

[ServizioCorse]

Absolutly great,

I'm looking desperatly

for "Tired of waiting"

with "The Flock"

[lynnann96]

heya, Jer, you're still in my dreams...love you...lynnann

[NousChristou]

Nothing, in the zone of a high that comes only through a lifetime of absorbing sonic nutrition expounds that Jerry Goodman yet possesses a stunning phrasing ability.. It is hard to believe that there are still haunting productions that can come up with a majesty of musical verbiages. I My regards to young people who appreciate something like this because they are musicians and not social suck-ups!

[samiegfunk1]

ive never heard anything like that.

lovely

[Manya1960]

Beautiful music. Can anyone tell me the title? I've always been a Mahavishnu Orchestra fan and this is obviously not from that time. I know it's Jerry playing, but I don't know which CD.

[pumpkinhold]

Check out either cd by the fellow who posted this video (Tristan des Pres) featuring Goodman. Both are tough to get state-side, but both are amazing & worth the hunt.

Been a while since the Dregs got together but I sure hope we'll see Goodman soon. He is singularly my favorite musician on any instrument, period. I also notice there is a new video posted with Jerry and Ernie Watts. Gotta watch that one!

[VeganaExPuta]

"Help Keep Leonid Hambro Obscure"

Remember???

Just in case Jerry himself ever checks in..... you and I first talked because of that button. Good god, that must have been 1968!

[adrie7777]

Jerry is hard, but lasting

[oregonbobv]

i was fortunate to see the Between nothingness and eternity concert with Mahavishnu.

Jerry stole the show. He ripped some amazing solos with the crt baby wah wah peddle.

[drawdecal]

This is awesome. Jerry's tone on the violin is unique, and I can pick it up in just a few bars. In addition to his known work with The Flock and Mahavishnu, check out is album on Private Music called "It's Alive." His closing number of the "Perry Mason Theme" has to heard to be believed. If only that album were a full-length DVD!!

[unclefestive]

You are SO right about It's Alive! The Perry Mason theme is great! Not only is the music and performance fantastic but the recording quality is stellar for a live recording! For when it was recorded, it is as powerful and punchy as anything done today. Man ... I'd LOVE to have a live DVD of Jerry's concerts! Check out the band Hectic Watermelon for some more great playing from Jerry Goodman.

[violinspieler]

00:33 is that boy also jerry goodman?

[Guardian1223]

He is and has always been astounding. There should be a Jerry Goodman national holiday because he is a national treasure!

[pittyone]

one of the really great modern musicians

[sidhrtha]

jerry goodman sets the standard for contemporary electric violin, light years ahead of the pack,as proficient and precise as ever, melodically always interesting, and a knack for the right riff, right note when it counts

[UrantiaMansion]

I agree having followed his career since "The Flock" and Mahavishnu. He needs to be back on the scene with the present overall music doldrums going on cranking out artificial artists for us to consume! Sign me up Jerry!

[UrantiaMansion]

Jerry Goodman...as a fan since seeing you many times in Chicago with "The Flock" and later with Mahavishnu, I am humbled and awed by your wonderful phrasing, tonality, colors, and technique-- not to mention taste! Thanks!

[lynnann96]

Jer writes and plays the soundtrack of our souls!  love ya

[lazur1]

Jerry, this is the sh*t! Thanks.

[to2manic]

how long do we have to wait for more beauty like this?

[pezraro]

fuck yeah!!!

[dongpedroyi]

Master Yoda of the violin!

[eRetriever]

Jerry, if you are reading this, just thanks for years of your music and insperations.

Merrill

[UrantiaMansion]

Jerry...I am serious! The music industry NEEDS you today! All is somewhat at a standstill with tons of superficiality! Let's start separating the High Art from the present commerciality that is so prevalent today! Without True Vision--our civilization will perish...

[bucky619]

Beautiful

[jimmijune]

Jerry Goodman is wonderful , there needs to be much more of him and this music , Thank you for posting this !

[NMBSZBMHB]

i know most of the guys in the video -- love 'em all.

[bornagaindaemon]

Great. Makes me wanna practice.

[drvitore]

I first saw Jerry with Mahavishnu in summer 1971 at the Akron Rubber Bowl (Ohio). I have been a student of his works ever since. Bravo Jerry!

[lazur1]

Wow, were they doing material from the not-yet-released "IMF"? I freaked out in amazement hearing the record for the first time, but to hear it live before it was on record must have been earth-shaking!

[miguffx]

---thanks jerry ,nice jod friend. gracias amigo  JERRY GOODMAN

[jmoriarty]

Excellent! A great musician with The Flock and on his own. Most importantly, one fifth of the greatest band that ever was! Thanks very much for posting the video.

[Mothkillgore]

Its so hard to get that clean of a distortion on a violin!

[lavender880]

Anyone know how to get in touch with Jerry Goodman??? Does he have another webite??

[kamborman]

Wow, incredibly amazing. I didn't know Jerry. Anyone knows the name of this song, if it has been published or something? Thanks tristandespres ;)

[tristandespres]

The song has no name, that I know of, however I will ask Jerry...

[Zahira905]

Thank you for your answer. Please remind to Mr. Goodman we all miss his beautiful music. My best regards! Zahira

[jcanistrum]

@kamborman he is well known for those who followed the Mahavishnu Orchestra in the 70s, check for You Know You Know here in Youtube and you're going to hear the real "monster" working on. :)

[JesusSoldierZ]

@jcanistrum I totally agree ! :)

[NomoDoEye]

Just got off dial up connection so this video streaming thing is new to me..

Thank You TristenDePres and Jerry for posting these vids and looking forward to the Goodman website.

[NomoDoEye]

Violin is my fav instrument to listen to..Might have something to do with the fact that a neighbor kid was quite the virtuoso..he'd have to stop what we were doing outside on the corner and go practice..I could hear him as he played..so suffice it to say..listening to and seeing played the violin..by in my opinion..one of the best if not the best contemporary players.. brings back some of those childhood memories..

[Steelydan3]

Thank you for posting this. Hope Jerry Goodman and other very talented jazz artists start releasting their music online...
