Gerald Cleaver

• DIGIPACK EDITION

Gerald Cleaver's Griots confirms just how far creative musicians have developed since the appearance of drum machines, music workstations and software modular synthesizers.

A drummer by trade, Cleaver can be heard in innumerable ensembles including those of Ivo Perelman, Chris Lightcap, Steve Swell and Tomasz Stanko, to name just a few. His craft has blossomed beyond the drum chair, leading his own ensembles and a recent dive into electronics.

He previously released the all-electric Signs (577 Records, 2020) which was remixed Signs Remixed (Positive Elevation, 2021) by hip hop producer Hprizm of the band Anti-Pop Consortium.
