Dave Goodman Interview – Music and The Learning Process | Andrew Lake Podcast #081

Dave Goodman holds a Ph.D. in Jazz studies from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and is the recipient of numerous music awards. He has performed in national and international ensembles and toured with prominent jazz musicians on a regular basis for over two decades, appearing on over 40 albums. He is an active educator, and is widely recognised for his wealth of wisdom and knowledge of jazz drumming, and music studies.

In this episode Dave shares his experiences with Bob Berg, and what it was like to discover the world of jazz-fusion music. We also talk about the nature of learning, what it means to be a dedicated student, and how one can move through the learning process in an optimal way. Dave refers to the essay ‘The Road To Graceland’ by Robert Fripp as a way of explaining his philosophy of music and philosophy of life. We also discuss transcribing music, Schoenberg harmony, drummer Gordy Knudtson, and Dave’s album Trioflight – as well as many other things!
