Thanks for sharing this. Gotdamnit what a little gem of a video. Heavy. Jerry is gone but definitely never forgotten. A true heavyweight in the game. The epitome of an afro Cuban jazzman. When he wasn't layin luscious feels on tumbadora, he was boppin out el animalito de metal. So much to give us. An inspiration for us keeping this art form going. Rest in Paradise KING!!! LONG LIVE THE GONZALEZ BROTHERS. Orgullo Boricua Orgullo Latino -Guaño
Is this for real. I was at this taping for jaco and wondered what happened to the rest of the interview. This is great! I'm one of his three daughters, twin B, Xiomara.
Hi Xiomara! Recently Rob and I (Paul here) realized that we have a library of interviews with a lot of greats like your dad that people would like to see. I've had a good time going through old footage lately and pulling moments like this that we always loved but couldn't fit into the film.
It aint no joke, LA CLAVE, unless you grew up with it and even if you did, you need to spend some serious time and ear getting it in your system. Jazz cats usually crash hard against it, and this I know outta experience! Rip Jerry, a great!
I’m as white and Irish as they come and understanding clave was easy. Some get it quick, some have to work at it. Of course playing in a Ghanaian band for 15 years helped me understand rhythm. When you can do African rhythms, you can do anything. This dude really has the junkie drawl and nose sniffing going on. 🙄
