The ProgCast With Gregg Bendian Progressive music and thought in all its forms I'm drummer/composer/producer/educator Gregg Bendian, host of The ProgCast. Over the last nine years I've interviewed over 100 of America's most innovative musicians for the Yale Oral History of American Music. I'm expanding my focus to include a podcast where I can converse freely with progressive music's most fascinating and accomplished figures.

We talk about the joys and challenges of interpreting this classic jazz-rock unit's richly rhythmic, melodic and harmonic material and what it means for us as a jazz-rock fusion repertory ensemble. https://www.bendianmusic.com BONUS EPISODES AVAILABLE ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/theprogcast Study Drums/Composition/Music with Gregg: https://www.bendianmusic.com GREGG BENDIAN is a percussionist/composer/producer/educator/podcaster from Teaneck, New Jersey.
