Returning to Canada and armed with Harris'' acclaimed bebop knowledge base, he began to perform regularly throughout Canada, pausing to attend the Banff Jazz Program in 1994.

There, while becoming a regular in the San Franciso and Los Angeles. jazz circuit, he would record with virtuoso vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson and, after studies with legendary Cuban pianist Chucho Valdes, would go on to win first prize at the Latin Jazz Festival in Reno, California. 2002 saw Joshua return to Toronto, Canada to build his working quintet featuring some of the country''s most in demand and decorated jazz musicians of this generation of players.

1. MY BROTHER
(Joshua Goodman).................6:45
As children my younger brother Dave and I were almost inseparable. Now, as adults, he is a buddy, a best-man and a travel companion. But most of all a brother. This tune celebrates my relationship with him.

2. CITRUS GROOVE
(Joshua Goodman).................4:33
Herbie Hancock, Horace Silver and Barry Harris have been highly influential in my writing. This song is a tribute to them and is reminiscent of Herbie’s Cantaloupe Island.

3. ARRIVAL
(Joshua Goodman)..................5:00
One goes through many evolutions in this journey through life and now, in many ways, I feel like I''ve “arrived”, transient as that arrival may be. We like to play this tune at the top of the set, just as crowds are aptly arriving.

4. IT TOOK TIME
(Joshua Goodman) ..................6:50
The lyrics to this song begin with “It took time, to fall in love with you” and is consequently dedicated to my wife Michele, whose beauty I always marvel at. I feel that this is a song for people who are celebrating accomplishment after struggle.

=======================================================
THANK YOU...
=======================================================
Thanks Mom and Dad and David and Sarah. Thank God and my lovely wife Michele and all my friends and family who have supported me in this quest for great music, and of course to the band themselves Brown, Sundar, Brandi and Sly, this music is as much theirs as it is mine. May the apple continue to ripen…
