Synopsis

Album Description
Vibist Terry Gibbs pays homage to jazz hero Lionel Hampton, "Father of the Vibes", whom the jazz community sadly lost in August, 2002. Performing songs closely associated with Hampton, Gibbs captures the spirit and vibrancy of his hero and mentor, lovingly known as "Gates". Gibbs also offers new songs, which he wrote in Hampton's memory. Fans of Gibbs will be excited to hear him on vocals for the first time in more than 50 years, and perform a new song playing the piano as he would a vibraphone, with just two fingers -- a rare technique perfected by Hampton.

"I never heard of Terry Gibbs until a radio program on WDUQ in Pittsburgh. They covered his musical history and played some of his vibraphone. I was hooked. This tribute to Lionel(Gates)Hampton is fantastic. He is a great showman/musician. All the seletions on this CD are geat, with two my favorites being Midnight Sun & Moonglow. The Gibbs compostions truely rival the Hampton style. Terry's Vibes are energetic yet soothing. The music on this CD goes from sooth to enery and back. This CD is for everyone who loves Bee Bop, Jazz and the big band sound of old."
