Mostly associated with MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA kind of jazz-rock, there’s much more strings to Jerry Goodman‘s bow than fusion offers, yet one would hardly think the legendary violinist has affinity with hits by the likes of METALLICA. Still, “Enter Sandman” is an opening track of Goodman’s “Violin Fantasy”: the album that’s been available on Jerry’s Bandcamp page and will be issued on CD on July 1st. Alongside his originals here, are tracks released previously on various Cleopatra Records projects, in alternative mixes now, and a curious collection of covers, with some great guests.
