Gerald’s solo is so incontestably in a class by itself, Eddie Jefferson and Jon Hendricks notwithstanding...Brashear weaves curlicue Lestoian solos with an appealing dry, woody tone, fluid, fleet phrasing, and spitfire tonguing.

In Paul de Barros’ Jackson Street After Hours (Sasquatch Books, 1993) Ernestine Anderson is quoted: “Gerald Brashear’s conga-playing was no small part of the act. Brashear had taught himself to play the style of Dizzy’s Cuban drummer, Chano Pozo. Buddy Catlett says Brashear ’played like a Cuban’, he was that good.”
