5 out of 5 stars Terry still swings.......2007-01-15

For a guy in his eighties, Terry still swings. This is a great CD and brings back memories of the NYC clubs where I saw Terry perform in the 50's. The flute brings a nice flavor to the sound since I am used to hearing Terry perform with Buddy DeFranco. I'll probably wear this CD out from playing.

5 out of 5 stars Have a Bopcycle.......2005-07-09

This is a must-have CD in the tradition of Parker with strings. The tunes are authentic. It is obvious that a lot of work and loving care went into the making. The arrangnments, with strings and horns, soften the tunes and probably would make Bird (and Mitch Miller) proud. This is not elevator music. It will mirror what you bring to the table and is recommended for everyone.

5 out of 5 stars The Vibes Really Swing.......2004-10-20

This album is a wonderfully arranged and orchestrated tribute to some great bebop tunes. With James Moody on sax and Nicholas Payton on the trumpet, we have some exceptional melody and improvisation in addition to the excellent work by Terry Gibbs. Jeff Hamilton, in my opinion the best jazz drummer that ever lived, keeps the drive going in his wonderfully understated performance.

These great musicians are privileged to play some equally great arrangements. These violins REALLY SWING in places. There is a wonderful passage where the violins are swinging the melody and Terry Gibbs is playing the harmony on the vibes.

There is some much content in this album, it is hard to put it all into words. Pick this album up. If you love swinging bebop, you will like this album.

P.S. The third or fourth time you listen to this album, shut out the orchestra and just listen to Jeff Hamilton. Those drum tracks are awesome.
