Join us in celebrating his timeless brilliance and introducing his music to new generations of listeners. Terry Gibbs, at nearly a century old, is not slowing down. He's produced this remarkable new live CD with his six-time Grammy-nominated big band. 1959: The Lost Tapes, Vol. 7 consists of previously undiscovered tracks from the same sessions as the band's previous recordings, capturing the band at their peak performance.
Engineered by the legendary Wally Heider, these recordings from March and November of 1959 boast exceptional quality that transcends time.
The Terry Gibbs Dream Band was a beacon of innovation in the L.A. and national big band scene, performing jazz standards, big band classics, and unreleased numbers. Featuring original charts by renowned arrangers Al Cohn, Bob Brookmeyer, Marty Paich, Med Flory, and the recently deceased Bill Holman (the last band member alive except for Terry), this ensemble set the stage for the adventurous big bands of the 1960s.
