Cliff would like to thank his mom, Wanda, for being the very example of support. When he was young, somehow the sound of absurdly loud drumming was music to her ears late into the night. And today, she’ll still listen to the primal expression of sound found on this record, be it eternally foreign to her southern gospel trained ear, and again hear her son making beautiful music. Drone Not Drones. Jazz is not a crime.
