#133: Carl Allen (pt. 1 of 2)

This week on the podcast is part one of our interview with Band Leader, Producer and Jazz Drummer, Carl Allen. Carl gives a lot of practical advice from his vantage point as a gigging musician and small business owner, and summarizes what he's learned from performing with many jazz greats throughout his career: from the importance of networking to the attributes and skills needed to succeed--beyond simply being a great musician.
