Read "Findin' the Groove" reviewed by Jack Bowers

Terry Gibbs: Feelin' Good: Live In The Studio

Read "Feelin' Good:  Live In The Studio" reviewed by Stephen Latessa


After a while you learn there are very few sure things in this world. The team with the highest payroll and all-stars manning every position does not win the World Series every year. In fact, sometimes teams comprised of players who can be charitably described as nobodies even sweep them. Like they say, that's why you ...

A Fireside Chat with Terry Gibbs

Read "A Fireside Chat with Terry Gibbs" reviewed by AAJ Staff

Terry Gibbs: 52nd & Broadway: Songs Of The Bebop Era

Read "52nd & Broadway: Songs Of The Bebop Era" reviewed by AAJ Staff

Too young to have participated in the ground-breaking experiments at Minton's and Monroe's, he first came to prominence with Woody Herman at the end of the 1940's. But bebop is in his blood; it's his life. 52nd & Broadway, with its vintage bop tunes and their treatment by a ...

Terry Gibbs: 52nd & Broadway: Songs of the Bebop Era

Read "52nd & Broadway:  Songs of the Bebop Era" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone


Yes, it is 2004, but vibraphonist Terry Gibbs doesn't know that, and it is difficult to discern any difference between his playing today and forty years ago. When you're eighty years of age and working with two mallets, the motor neurons have a tendency to slow you down, but that certainly is not apparent here. On ...

Terry Gibbs: 52nd And Broadway: Songs Of The Bebop Era

Read "52nd And Broadway: Songs Of The Bebop Era" reviewed by Mark Sabbatini


It's albums like this that make certain people rant about the “good ol' days." Vibraphonist Terry Gibbs incredibly still sounds lively and fresh on his 65th album, 52nd And Broadway: Songs Of The Bebop Era , frequently giving new tempos and arrangements to standards from the period. But this isn't modern music with a ...

Terry Gibbs: From Me To You: A Tribute To Lionel Hampton

Read "From Me To You: A Tribute To Lionel Hampton" reviewed by Joel Roberts


Tribute albums, by and large, have become a cheap marketing ploy for unimaginative record companies and artists looking to cash in on the legacy of more popular performers and to appeal to what they assume is a public uninterested in hearing challenging or original material. Just look at the way-too-many releases “honoring,” say, Miles or Duke. ...
