My guest today is one of the most versatile drummers I've ever met, Matt Scarano. His mastery of odd-time meters, combined with his sense of swing, and ability to deliver far-reaching musical narratives have made him a preeminent performer and educator.

Lately he’s been on several major tours with SPAGA Band and Matisyahu as well as cultivating his own project U.S.E. Trio in collaboration with Sandy Eldred, and Andrew Urbina, as well as, carrying the torch of Philly homegrown concert series’ at Cherry St. Tavern.

In our interview we tackle a host of topics including: the Philly scene, Ben Schachter’s musical legacy, playing chordless, developing time and feel, dealing with social media and much more.
