In conversation with jazz musician and composer Alex Goodman

Jazz musician-composer Alex Goodman is a busy man these days. After becoming the first Canadian to ever win first place at the Socar International Jazz Guitar Compeition at the 2014 Montreux Jazz Festival, he’s been touring Europe, returned to Canada for several concerts, interviews, appearances and guitar clinics. He heads of this week for another series of concerts in Europe, and then back to the United States and Canada for more concerts.

Originally from Toronto, he is now based in New York City.

Last Thursday (November 13) Alex Goodman had a in-depth, wide-ranging conversation with RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda about his Montreux win, how he came to jazz, about different ways of approaching the process of composition, and about his plans for the future.
