I had a suspicion Benny Greb would be an interesting and thought-provoking conversation partner, and I wasn’t wrong.
I was interested to compare notes with the master-clinician on a number of things that have been top-of-mind, like nature/nurture, the paradox of the subjectivity of - but requirement for skill in - art, gap-click, and overrated drum advice.
Benny surprised me at turns, and confirmed my suspicions at others.
One of his most-interesting insights, in my opinion, was that he wants to be an entertainer/craftsperson, not just an “artist”.
We also managed to touch on Pablo Picaso, Neitzsche, Vinnie’s Attack of The 20lb Pizza (it’s 20 pounds, I know - I misspoke and under-weighted the pizza during the interview), and why Benny maybe disagrees with me on independence as a concept.
