This episode features my conversation with drummer Paul Wertico.
Based out of Chicago, Paul is highly regarded for his fearless approach, artistry and musicality.
He is best known for being the legendary Pat Metheny’s drummer for 18 years, during which he recorded multiple Grammy award winning albums.
Paul is a bandleader and prolific composer who has released numerous projects under his own name. Frequently sought after for his creativity, his work can also be heard on hundreds of recordings with many artists.
As an educator, Paul has been teaching privately for over 45 years and is also an Associate Professor of Jazz Studies at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of the Performing Arts.
In our conversation, we talk about how his curiosity to explore different musical genre’s has inspired his creative approach. We also discuss his work with the Pat Metheny Group and how he uses his personal experiences to inspire others to get outside their comfort zone, allowing them to find their own creative voice.
