"Brilliant music by Gerard." Dance Magazine 1977

"[Gerard's piece with] its mixture of dance and jazz, dissonance and swing was ingratiating." Washington Post, 2006

"Gerard's playing displayed the chops and range to embrace the mellow, Gallic phrases of the Francaix, as well as the grittier wailing asked for in parts of the Schulhoff. His lived-in feeling for this material was matched by pianist Carl Banner's stylish, rhythmically scrupulous keyboard work. Two compositions by Gerard -- a wacky cocktail of Dvorak, Art Tatum and Suzuki violin exercises called "Tatumesque," and a melding of Carole King and "The Rite of Spring" titled "Will You Love My Earth Kiss Tomorrow" -- revealed humor and crossover composing skill right in line with the earlier generation of composers on the program." Washington Post, 2007

“The sound Jenny [Hill] gets on the tenor might be one of the most very personal of her generation. A musician of high quality and depth of understanding.”
