Chilly Gonzales
It’s been a long time since I’ve spoken with Jason/Chilly/Gonzo/Maestro Gonzales so we had a lot to talk about.
This is an unedited interview 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, we have permission to play three tracks off his Solo Piano III album. This is a classic album you need in your collection. You can find it here.
The simple life lesson to ‘be yourself’ can never be heard too often. Chilly and I take another swing at it here. Let us know what you think.
