Gilad Hekselman - Getting the gig at the Village Vanguard, a convo with my high school guitar hero

In conversation with guitar extraordinaire Gilad Hekselman. I interrogated him about how one gets a gig at the Village Vanguard. We talked pre-performance rituals as well as keeping up a rigorous practice regime with two kids at home, nerding out about real-time composition, quarter note triplets, and lessons with legends like Ari Hoenig and Sam Yahel. Stay tuned for confessions of his own experience giving lessons!
