More Focused on Progress Than Ever

The Cliff Almond Interview

Janek Gwizdala

Jan 29, 2024

Transcript

Cliff Almond is one of the most underrated drummers of the past 30 years with one core element, "The Grid", that creates this effortless transition from Michel Camilo and Wayne Krantz, to arena rock tours and studio sessions.

He also happens to be the drummer in my band, the drummer on my latest album "Night Watch", and one of my great friends of almost 20 years.

He may be from a generation that came before me, but has more respect for the music, the process, and the search for what is next that most musicians I know from ANY generation.

He is a fountain of musical youth, a wealth of knowledge and experience, and is without question in my hall of fame list of drummers that I still can't believe I get to play with on a regular basis.

Enjoy,

Janek
