My guest today is Joel Rosenblatt.
Joel is a highly respected drummer, producer, and audio engineer.
Joel’s versatility is reflected in the wide range of musicians he
has played drums with, including Pure Prairie League, Michel
Camilo, Paquito D’Rivera, Eliane Elias, Steve Kahn, Spyro Gryra,
and Bill Evans. Joel has created his own recording studio Cliff
Sound Productions, where he enjoys cultivating new artists. Joel
has played drums on the Broadway shows: In the Heights, Mamma
Mia, and Hamilton, while also finding time to offer
master classes and drum clinics.
In addition to all of Joel’s musical accomplishments, I appreciate
Joel’s honesty, vulnerability and authenticity. He describes the
artist’s plight, where you are somebody’s favorite, until you are
not, and how common it is for an artist to vacillate from
inspiration to depression. Joel brings mindfulness to his life
journey, honoring his desire to keep growing, not just musically,
but also personally, exploring interests outside of music,
clarifying his priorities and learning to simplify.
