Terry Gibbs and Sal Nistico
In 1963, vibraphonist Terry Gibbs teamed with tenor saxophonist Sal Nistico to record a terrific little-known swinger for New York's Time Records known as Gibbs & Nistico. I say “known as" because the album cover, as you can see below, doesn't distinctly project a title. Produced by Bob Shad, the LP featured Sal Nistico (ts), Terry ...

Ralph Gari on EmArcy in 1955
While I was away over the past two weeks, I spent a few hours at a terrific vinyl record store nearby run by guys with long hair and great taste. You know the kind of shop I'm talking about, where everything they spin on their vintage stereo system with 1970s speakers sounds fetching and you must ...
Blossom Dearie: The Fontana Years, 1966-1970
