This episode features my conversation with drummer Tom Brechtlein.
From his roots in Long Island, NY to his current home in Austin, TX, Tom has laid down the rhythmic foundation for some of music's most iconic artists—including Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Jean-Luc Ponty, Al Di Meola, Robben Ford, Kenny Loggins and more.
Known for his versatility and creative expression, Tom has earned his place as one of the most respected drummers in the business.
In this episode, we dive into how his early experiences shaped his journey to becoming a jazz musician, explore the value of staying flexible and open-minded across different creative environments, and discuss why seeking out live music is essential for staying inspired and motivated to develop your craft.
