Terry Gibbs’s career as a vibraphonist and bandleader spans a full 50 years, nearly 50 albums, and hundreds of concert, club, and TV appearances. The Brooklyn-born child prodigy, who went on his first national tour at age 12, became a professional musician in 1946, following a three-year Army stint. He joined Woody Herman’s herd in ’48, and a year or so later formed his own band.
Gibbs was voted the top vibes player by Down Beat and Metronome magazines from 1950 to 1956. He also has the distinction of being the only person nominated in four categories of the Playboy Jazz Poll since its inception: Best Vibraphonist, Best Quartet, Best Big Band, and Best Bandleader.
Bass – Herman Wright; Drums – Nils-Bertil Dahlander; Piano – Terry Pollard; Vibraphone – Terry Gibbs.
