KOMPA! MAGAZINE

maybe the word "out of respect" is invisible to few.
he chose to take the high road and not comment on the same token inform Pat Gerald replacement has been found.
there is nothing disrespectful here. se komsi ou poze yon neg kesyon sou yon fanm li te damou apre plus keu 15 zan, li diw li pap pale fanm lan mal epi li diw li gueri paskeu li gintan gin yon lot moun nan vil.
the show must go on folks.

my advice to Tvice: throw a farewell party for Gerald where the fans can say goodbye and thank the man for his services in the band, he deserves that much.

He says out of respect he has for him he chooses not to comment...Well, i guess if he had, his interjections would have been otherwise negative. I dont know if im the only one getteing this vibe!

Monchè I got the same feeling as well. Vye jès!

HAITIAN PEOPLE HAVE ONE HUGE PROBLEM........ THEY ARE MIXING BUSINESS WITH SENTIMENT......

REY BIEN PALE.....li di grald will always be vice et par respect pou Jazzy g yo pap fe okinn back and forth ak sal di yo

But tvice is a business e tvice se business li e poul proteje business saa defwa fow pran decision pou business ou

Sentiment wise of course li hurt, of course miss Jazzy but tvice has to move on and gerald has to move on

So mwen pa we why anpil moun soti pou manje maes la.

I do not believe that some of you missed that the end of Rey's statement was totally inappropriate. It even is borderline sarcastic.

Though the beginning of the statement is fine, the 2nd part completely negates it. Se pa jan ou komanse a se jan ou fini an.

We know that you are getting a replacement so there is no need to tell us that...especially not in this statement.

That's like saying... out of respect for you i won't comment... BTW... It didn't take long to replace you.

A thank you for so many years of service and I wish we could have worked things out would have been a better way to end this statement.

The same way it didn't take long for Gerald to find another job, maybe even before he quit T-Vice.

GERALD KEBREAU: Today I am fortunate enough to say that I was signed to a 4 month contract performing with the Seth Burkhat 4 aboard the Allure of the Seas by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. I’ve crossed over from full time kompa to full-time jazz at least for the next few months. I also started a project called “Unclazzified” with a great friend pianist by the name of Allen Paul, and drummer Jason Kent. We are currently working on a 5-6 song EP, recording jazz tunes that we composed and produced, and will test the Jazz/R&B market.

I really don't see what is the big deal.
