Griots by Gerlad Cleaver, released on Positive Elevation in 2021.

Griots is Gerald Cleaver's second electronic album, jointly released by 577 Records sub label Positive Elevation and Meakusma. It sees Cleaver further exploring the depths of electronic music offered by his hometown Detroit, combining those influences with his personal musical background. A jazz drummer. originally from Detroit, Cleaver has for years been one of the leading drummers and composers in New York's jazz scene.

Griots is all about spontaneity, dealing with a wide range of influences and ideas, blending them in an at times gentle, at times ferocious flurry of rowdy synthesis, FM tones and muted drum machines. The album is a challenging listen that offers comfort as well as contorted acceptance. It defines the nature of inspiration as circular. ..

Be It As I See It
by Gerald Cleaver and Uncle June, released on Fresh Sound New Talent in 2010.

Nic Jones wrote for All About Jazz:

"...Be It As I See It, his fourth as a leader in his own right—and in the company of his Uncle June ensemble, featuring reed man Tony Malaby and bassist Drew Gress—is as reflective of the times we live in as it is with a broader historical continuum.

...As the final track, "From A Life Of The Same Name" has the effect of closing things out both literally and metaphorically; clarifying the degree to which Cleaver and his cohorts have pulled off the considerable feat of reconciling a past with a present, without wallowing in tiresome, neo-conservative staples. The result is a program of highly individual music, beautifully realized."
