117_Cliff Almond- Wayne Krantz, Michel Camilo

Drummer Cliff Almond on touring Japan, the San Diego jingle scene of the 80's and the "high pressure" world of analogue live tracking with a big band, the wild story of Dave Weckl passing off the Michel Camilo gig to a then 20 year old Cliff, a whole lot of Weckl rants, the framework of the Wayne Krantz gig that allows for so much improvisation, the challenges of playing with Wayne/Anthony Jackson & Michel Camilo, searching for an identity on the drums and the importance of taking a break from playing live to search for it, the evolution of online drumming content, his two separate phases of NY life, and the horse-cart conversation with two fellow drummers that was a game changer.https://www.facebook.com/Cliff-Almondhttps://twitter.com/cliffalmond1https://www.instagram.com/cliffalmond
