I checked out the link to your Bandcamp Gerald Cleaver overview. Was surprised that you didn't reference his excellent work with Ivo Perelman. I haven't heard them all, but 'Living Jelly' and 'Art of Trio Vol.6' are both magnificent examples of his work, and 'Enigma' has a great example of double drummer line up (with Whit Dickey) that really illuminates his comments on how to make that work.
Thanks for reading! It was a question of outlet — because the piece was for Bandcamp's editorial side, I had to stick to albums available on Bandcamp, and Leo's catalog isn't up there (yet).
Thanks Phil. Interesting read, as always.

Makes sense. Leo is one of the great labels...pity it's not up on BC.
