• 1. The Process Pt. 1
      • 2. The Process Pt. 2

      Gerald Cleaver is a jazz master-drummer, with a mountain of stellar collaborations to his name: recordings with William Parker, Roscoe Mitchell, Matthew Shipp, Charles Gayle, Tomasz Stanko, Joshua Abrams…

      The Process is his Techno album. Constantly shifting percussion-work plays off grooving, atmospheric, widescreen, side-long electronics, in homage to his hometown of Detroit, and its living musical traditions, and also to ‘the freedom and power of the Black American male’.Terrific stuff.
