“GERARD CHUMILLA IS A COMPELLING IMPROVISER. HE PLAYS WITH A BEAUTIFUL SOUND, A THOROUGH COMMAND OF HIS INSTRUMENT AND MUSICAL MATERIAL, AND AN EMOTIONAL IMPACT FAR BEYOND HIS YEARS. HE HAS A LOT TO SAY ON THE HORN. GIVEN HIS WORK ETHIC I BELIEVE THE MESSAGE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND FLOURISH FOR DECADES TO COME.”
