Greg Murphy: Snap Happy
by Jack Bowers
A powerful and perceptive reading of Bronislau Kaper's “On Green Dolphin Street" sets the compass on Snap Happy, a splendid recording by pianist Greg Murphy's trio (and sometimes quartet) which is the New York-based artist's eighth album as leader of his own groups. To begin where the rubber meets the road, Murphy is ...

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.

Richard J Salvucci's Best Jazz Albums Of 2024
by Richard J Salvucci
Bandleader Glenn Miller would introduce a part of his 1930s radio broadcast with the phrase “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." If you review enough classic vinyl rereleases, you get plenty of something old. The new here is obvious and a joy to hear. Only problem is that it will be 2025 before making ...
Jack Bowers' Best Jazz Albums Of 2024
by Jack Bowers
On a personal note, this is unlike any “best of the year" summaries I've written during my more than twenty-five years as a reviewer for All About Jazz. The reason is that I fell in late April and broke my left femur. As a result, I completed no reviews from that time until early September, a ...
Terry Gibbs: Dream Band, Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959
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 ...
Terry Gibbs: Dream Band, Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959

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 ...
