Terry Gibbs

[Ethan Minovitz <eminovitz...>]

Re the inquiries a couple of weeks ago about the 
re-released album "Terry Gibbs Plays Jewish 
Melodies In Jazztime":  

This is from a recent bulletin of Universal 
Music Canada reissues...so it's the company's 
description, not mine.

Release date [in Canada]:  August 20, 2002.

Just the Facts:  Decades before the fusion of 
jazz and klezmer music was fashionable, 
vibraphonist Terry Gibbs was putting a modern-
jazz spin on traditional Jewish melodies and 
rhythms. The group heard on this ahead-of-its-
time album includes Alice McLeod, later known as 
Alice Coltrane, on piano.

Personnel:  Terry Gibbs (vibraphone, marimba) 
together with Sam Kutchner (trombone), Ray 
Musiker (clarinet), Alan Logan, Alice McLeod 
(aka Alice Coltrane) (piano), Herman Wright 
(bass), Bobby Pike (drums), Sol Gage (drums, 
marimba). Recorded 1963 in New York City.

Tracks:  1. Bei Mir Bist Du Schon; 2. Papirossen 
(Cigarettes); 3. Kazochok (Russian Dance); 4. 
Vuloch (A Folk Dance); 5. My Yiddishe Momme; 6. 
And the Angels Sing; 7. S&S; 8. Shaine Une Zees 
(Pretty and Sweet); 9. Nyah Shere (New Dance).


Hope this helps!
