I'm so glad to see you paying tribute to one of the greatest musicians of my lifetime.

I've heard almost every recording you talked about, and it is amazing how different all of them are, yet Gerald sounds like himself on every one.

The recordings he did with Chris Lightcap's groups Bigmouth and SuperBigmouth stand out to me as some of the best representations of the cutting edge of composition and improvisation in the first 2 decades of the 21st century, and I couldn't imagine them be as amazing as they are without Gerald Cleaver's musicianship and framing at the drums.

Thank you Vinnie!

Invaluable. Thank you for doing this. Conveniently, I am chasing Gerald for a conversation about his newer "techno" work
