Joe Beck: Get Me Joe Beck

Read "Get Me Joe Beck" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

It would be something of an understatement to say that the late Joe Beck was a fine guitarist. In truth, he was one of the most multifaceted players to wield the instrument during his lifetime. Beck was hailed for his funky fusion work, both as an individual and in combination with saxophonist David Sanborn, he was ...

Gerry Gibbs Thrasher Dream Trio

Read "Gerry Gibbs Thrasher Dream Trio" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki

by Chris M. Slawecki

Drummer, composer and bandleader Gerry Gibbs--son of renown vibes player and bandleader Terry Gibbs--grew up playing with musical legends from jazz traditionalists such as Clark Terry and James Moody, to Gary Bartz and Sam Rivers and other more adventurous conceptualists, to Parliament-Funkadelic and other artists who skirt the fringes in between. Gibbs' exceptionally dexterous work with ...

Read "Lineage: Rock and Pop Classics Revisited" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki

by Chris M. Slawecki

In 2010, saxophonist Dave Liebman and drummer Michael Stephans began tossing around cover song ideas with guitarist Vic Juris, who was featured in the Liebman Group from 1991 through 2012.

Kenny Barron/Gerry Gibbs/Ron Carter: Gerry Gibbs Thrasher Dream Trio

Read "Gerry Gibbs Thrasher Dream Trio" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

When drummer Gerry “The Thrasher" Gibbs was a youngster, growing up in California in the '70s, he idolized bassist Ron Carter and pianist Kenny Barron. Of course, neither man played his instrument of choice, but he recognized the greatness that emanated from both players and he viewed them as exemplars of what's right and good in ...

Gerry Gibbs: Thrasher Dream Trio

Read "Thrasher Dream Trio" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

A trio that clings together and swings together. Drummer Gerry Gibbs calls this a “dream trio," a description that seems as appropriate as any.

Kenny Barron/Gerry Gibbs/Ron Carter: Gerry Gibbs Thrasher Dream Trio

Read "Gerry Gibbs Thrasher Dream Trio" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Drummer Gerry Gibbs calls this band the Thrasher Dream Trio. That “Thrasher" aspect of the appellation might make the uninitiated conjure images of burly tattooed guys in sleeveless shirts, sporting long black hair--and maybe facial make-up--slamming their instruments in the heavy metal bass/drums/guitar mode. But this couldn't be further from the music at hand. Gerry Gibbs ...

Dave Liebman/Michael Stephens: Lineage: Rock and Pop Classics Revisited

Read "Lineage: Rock and Pop Classics Revisited" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Saxophonist Dave Liebman was yet another musician drawn into the orbit of trumpeter Miles Davis, contributing to the always innovative master band leader's extraordinary and ground breaking--but underappreciated and even maligned at its time of release--On the Corner (Columbia Records, 1972), as well as Dark Magus (Columbia Records, 1974) and Get Up With It (Columbia Records, ...
