Another Ponty fan... ey ? Seems to me Ponty was more melodic and Goodman aggresive. I think Goodmans "faster" and possibly more... whats the word ? accurate, precise at speed, Pontys over all work is more notable. I'm abit of a Sloan man myself... something about the Dregs man. All those violinists slayed, Goodman, Ponty, Sloan, Steinhardt and of course Charlie Daniels. Violin in rock fluxed music seemed to fade after the 70's and headed back to its classical, jazz or country rootes. Not that its a typical jazz instrument.
found this new Goodman... pretty f'in sick.... edit:wait for the solo
then theres this which is pretty f'in sick too... Im thinking I need to get some Goodman
