Synopsis

Album Description

While Gibson has astounded blues fans in the past with his dazzling harmonica acrobatics, on this new recording he embraces some of the most beautiful classic jazz melodies of all time with passionate singing and commanding,yet subtle instrumental expression. 'The Nearness Of You' is an exquisite jazz recording. From the nuances in his delivery on the opening track, "When I Fall In Love," through the buoyant resonance on his own "Darling, Please Come Home," to the wistful final track "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning," Gibson displays a maturity beyond his years.

CD Reviews

Wonderful Album!

"Billy Gibson is simply one of the greatest harmonica players of this generation. He has had a great career thus far, and will continue to meet musical heights with his subsequent projects, both live and recorded. While in Mississippi, he had a group called the "Mindbenders" with himself on the harmonica and vocals, Mike Butts on Bass, Geoff Thornton on Drums, and Scott Miller on Guitar (see Scott Miller's bestselling "Getting Into Jazz Fusion Guitar" by Mel Bay Publications at this site). The band was one of the greatest bands in Ms., and opened shows for B.B. King et. al., and performed at the prestigious Delta Blues Festival. Check out Gibson on this fine outing."
