In this episode, Mike and Mike discuss modern jazz great Antonio Sanchez, who just released an adventurous drum-centric album titled Bad Hombre. The education segment focuses on how to utilize the compositional device of tension and release in grooves, fills, and solos. Up for review is a vintage-inspired NV60-M5 maple snare from Canopus. After fielding a few listener questions, the show concludes with picks of the week.
