Eliot Zigmund, American jazz drummer best known for being one-third of Bill Evans’ legendary Trio (as well as stints with Jim Hall, Chet Baker, Stan Getz and so many others), joins us this week on GITM. Zigmund describes auditioning for Bill Evans at the Village Vanguard in front of a live audience, the experience of gigging 5-6 nights per week and the art of playing with the incomparable Vince Guaraldi. Likening his role to that of a carpenter, Eliot shares thoughts on leaving space and adding color to the immortal Evans’ Trio performances.


This week we are also joined by jazz producer Nick Phillips!
