I respect this man so much although I know little of him but do know he has a reputation in the studio and in Live Recordings that is unmatched. This guy speaks volumes without saying a word. He lets the sticks and kit do the talking. Calvin Napper may be underrated to "us" but the right people know exactly who he is.
He's definetly on the "A" list for Session Work. When I hear the name Calvin Napper, the words longevity, solid, minstrel, humble and trust come to mind. This guy gets the job done. I think we all have a lot to learn from him. Someone needs to do an article or something on him because without a doubt he is one of Gospel Musics Greatest no matter what anyone says. I think we all can agree with that.
