Career Overview

About Richie Goods

Goods’s official biography traces church and club playing in Pittsburgh, jazz study at Berklee, and later study with Ron Carter and Ray Brown. It documents a nine-year association with Mulgrew Miller before extensive touring and recording across jazz and popular music.[1]

The biography and artist Bandcamp distinguish Nuclear Fusion, The Goods Project, and the Connected collaboration with vibraphonist Chien Chien Lu. Leader recordings move from live electric-jazz and Pittsburgh-focused writing to a Mulgrew Miller tribute and collaborative production.[1][2]
