Jeff has chops but he knows how to keep it in the frame of the music, that pocket is so tight he can do a fill that fits right in the space of the notes, never out of place or overdone. Gerald is good but he’s too chop heavy, which sounds good but takes away from everyone else in the band playing
In the 90’s cats didn’t do a lot and playing for Hez that ain’t gonna happen…bout that deep pocket…he may not have progressed but I bet he ain’t losing his gig to nobody
