A Fireside Chat with Terry Gibbs
by AAJ Staff
There is the old adage, “Practice makes perfect." And having been road tested for 68 years, Terry Gibbs is in effect perfect. Jazz vocabulary is contingent on experience, and Gibbs has plenty of stories to tell. He narrates an account of the “golden age of jazz" with 52nd & Broadway: Songs of the Bebop Era and ...
Terry Gibbs: 52nd & Broadway: Songs Of The Bebop Era
by AAJ Staff
Vibraphonist Terry Gibbs is a second-generation bebopper. 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
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
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
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. ...

Terry Gibbs: From Me To You: A Tribute To Lionel Hampton
by Lisa Dornell
“No one wants to see a short Jew singing love songs—unless you’re Al Jolson. But rhythm songs? So long as you have a good time it’s OK.” —Terry Gibbs Trust me, it’s more than just OK and you will have a good time, as vibraphone master Terry Gibbs sings, swings, and generally carouses his way through ...
Terry Gibbs: Terry Gibbs Plays Jewish Melodies in Jazztime
by AAJ Staff
Opening with a few bars of wild Bar Mitzvah dance music based on “Bei Mir Bist Du Shöen," this reissue of a long-ago album by vibraphonist Terry Gibbs is more Jazz than Klezmer, but still manages to keep listeners Hora-fied almost all the way through. Supported by the swing time rhythms of drummers Bobby Pike and ...
