Pondercast Episode 56 is an unedited interview between Laurie Brown and Chilly Gonzales about his career and how he created a musical life that is a full expression of all his talents. Those talents now include creating a music academy called the Gonzervatory, that helps other musicians find their own unique path.
This episode is about becoming more yourself. In an artistic world that loves to put artists in boxes - Chilly has refused to play that game. He lays out how he did it in this interview. Thanks to Chilly, you can heard three tracks off his Solo Piano III album in this episode.
The simple life lesson to ‘be yourself’ can never be heard too often. Chilly and Laurie take another swing at it here.
