I read somewhere, Quincy Jones, who had worked with Cleveland many times, gave him the title of "Soul Brother #1". I figure coming from Q that's quite compliment. AND Cleveland's own recordings where he is the leader are not too shabby either.

Yeah I have his two Emarcy albums and they are top shelf. And that compliment is absolutely a golden stamp of approval!!!!

There was a great documentary recently. I think it originated on Apple? Look for it and you wont be disappointed.

This was an amazing run on the Muse label. Stitt made a comeback of sorts and was in full form. I think some of his best recordings are on Muse. Best part? Affordable little "secret".

Love the covers in this series.

Yeah, I also really enjoy his cartoons. I also like the drawings by David Stone Martin that seemed to be everywhere.
