Terry Gibbs, legendary jazz vibraphonist and bandleader, was 12
years old when he kicked off his career as a professional musician,
winning first place in an amateur performance. Born and raised in
the heart of Brooklyn and possessing tremendous musical talent,
Gibbs learned the ins and outs of bebop from pioneers like Dizzy
Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Bud Powell. In 1959 his ensemble,
later dubbed The Dream Band, became the toast of Hollywood. Four
decades, 65 albums, and 300 compositions later, his story is one of
great substance-his foot tapping music, revolutionary. Good Vibes
is a rollicking autobiography that tracks jazz from the turbulent
post-war years through the rise of bebop, traversing its changes
through the eyes of one of its greatest practitioners. Gibbs's
hilarious, poignant, and always fascinating anecdotes reveal
little-known attributes and quirks about legendary personalities
such as Benny Goodman, Buddy Rich, Steve Allen, Frank Sinatra, Don
Rickles, Billie Holiday, and many more. A foreword by Chubby
Jackson, a discography, and an index round out this work."
