132: Pablo Rieppi

Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, Pablo Rieppi spent much of his 1980s
adolescence in the Washington DC area. He tells Joe about his
journey from Neil Peart devotee to Juilliard Faculty member (not
that two things are mutually exclusive). Pablo tells Joe how he
benefited from the naivete of his youth, and he explains why all
great instrumentalists aren’t necessarily artists.
