Terry Gibbs Dream Band: Dream Band, Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959

Read "Dream Band, Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


«Non credo che ci sia mai stata una band migliore di questa, compresa la mia». Mel Lewis espresse queste parole per la mitica orchestra che il vibrafonista Terry Gibbs guidò in California tra il 1959 e il 1961 e fu chiamata “Dream Band" per l'entusiasmo che suscitò tra i fortunati che l'ascoltarono dal vivo. Giudizi così perentori non vanno mai presi alla lettera ma ascoltando queste inedite registrazioni non li giudicherete troppo esagerati. Stan Kenton espresse simili opinioni ...

Terry Gibbs: Dream Band, Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959

Read "Dream Band, Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959" reviewed by Jack Bowers


In 1959, vibraphonist Terry Gibbs and his recently formed big band set up shop at the Seville, a Los Angeles nightclub owned by Harry Schiller. Many of those early sessions were taped, at Gibbs' request, by famed recording engineer Wally Heider before being left on a shelf and forgotten. After two weeks at the Seville, Gibbs and the band moved to a second club, the Sundown. The band was successful, drew large crowds, and was soon recording, first for Norman ...

Terry Gibbs: Dream Band, Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959

Read "Dream Band, Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci


Someone once asked Terry Gibbs how it was possible that if you took his side men, or some subset of them, and put them together in another band, they never quite sounded as good. Gibbs replied, modestly, that it was all in the arrangers. He got the best arrangers, like Bill Holman, Marty Paich and Med Flory. Others did not. And so the story went. It would have been tempting to ask if, perhaps, Gibbs had ...

As the recording industry shifted its focus from the jukebox to the home market starting in 1949, a new generation of singers emerged to win over the slippers and sofa set. Rather than croon standards passionately like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, these new singers were more likely to record material by new songwriters and deliver them with a relaxed, lounge-like intimacy. Among this group was singer-songwriter-pianist Bobby Troup, whose first leadership date in 1953 for Capitol is remarkable for ...

Bob Enevoldsen: Smorgasbord

Source: JazzWax by Marc Myers

Back in the early 1950s, jazz musicians were impossibly gifted. A good number not only could play their primary instrument with enormous skill and flair, they often could play quite a few others. This was particularly true on the West Coast, where studio work was abundant but your share depended largely on how many axes you could grind. If you played only the tenor sax, your odds of being called consistently for a job were slim given the competition. But ...

Bob Enevoldsen dies

Source: All About Jazz

Bob Enevoldsen - Doug Ramsey, November 23, 2005 One of the joys of listening to The Bill Holman Band the past decade or so has been the opening minute of “No Joy In Mudville." Over an insistent one-bar riff figure repeated by the saxophones, Bob Enevoldsen plays a valve trombone solo of pure exuberance. It is the first track in Holman's CD A View From The Side. It was, almost invariably, the first piece he called when the band performed. ...
