Good Vibrations
By Lewis Goldberg
  Ever been in a situation you've been in countless times before,
but for some reason this time it just feels different? Like the stars
are aligned so that the same old scene seems better than it ever
has? This, my friends, is what we call a vibe.
  When the Robert Goodman Band takes its avant-jazz to the
stage at a local hotspot, the vibe is right. Sure, you've seen a
thousand different jazz groups at a thousand different bars, but
this four-piece progressive combo, led by a local high school
history teacher, controls the moment. They could teach us all
a thing or two about improvisation and composition. **History
repeats itself each Wednesday evening from 8 to10 p.m. when the
Robert Goodman Band provides the vibe at The Lounge (517
Clematis St., West Palm Beach). Admission is free.

THE PALM BEACH POST TIMES TGIF pg 21 FEB. 6th
2004 Edition by Bill Meriadeth
Historical jazz, patriotic pop: By day, Robert Goodman is a history
teacher at Palm Beach Gardens High School. By night, he turns into a
singing keyboardist, presenting historical perscpective through his lyrics
in the Robert GoodmanTrio (Band.)
With it's instrumentation (including Rick Shepherd on bass and Mark
Nemcek on drums), you might expect a jazz trio. But Goodman adds
glimpses of pop keyboard artists Elton John and Billy Joel through his
vocals, piano and synthesizers. On teh groups's new CD,"BACK HOME",
Shepherd's fretless electric bass and Nemcek's nimble drumming brings
the jazz influence to tunes like "SHOW US" & Free.
Goodman's tunes have political themes, but he isn't a stereotypically
pro-American patriot that wears blinders. On the tune "American
Revolution", he sings, "I'm an American Composer, but my composure is
getting older/ tired if seeing the same old history repeat itself right in front
of me."
The trio gives away a copy of "BACK HOME" to anyone who donates
$10.00 to any of the veterans' charity organizations Goodman supports,
and it isn't above having fun - it's Victory Song for the Florida Marlins
resulted in South Florida airplay after the baseball team's World Series
win last year.
