+ The NDR Bigband
Der britische Posaunist und Pianist Michael Gibbs zählt seit den sechziger
Jahren zu den herausragenden Protagonisten der britischen Jazzszene und ist
seitdem vor allem als Komponist und Arrangeur von internationalem Format in
Erscheinung getreten ist.
Seit der studierte Musiker (Berklee College of Music) im Alter von 25 Jahren den Jazzklassiker „Something‘s Coming!“ (1963) des amerikanischen Vibrafonisten Gary Burton arrangierte, arbeitete er u. a. mit John McLaughlin, Buddy Rich, Stan Getz, Stanley Clarke, John Scofield oder Jaco Pastorius und war zudem für Pop-/ Rock-Größen wie Manfred Mann, Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson und Marianne Faithfull tätig.
Das nun erscheinende Album „Back In The Day“ präsentiert einen Zusammenschnitt aus fünf Aufnahmessions, die der von Gil Evans, Aaron Copeland, Charles Ives und Olivier Messiaen stilistisch geprägte Musiker zwischen 1995 und 2003 mit der 18-köpfigen NDR Bigband einspielte. Geboten werden neben sieben Eigenkompositionen die Jazzklassiker „Here’s That Rainy Day“ (Jimmy van Heusen), „I Want To Talk About You (Billy Eckstine) und „Round Midnight” (Thelonious Monk) sowie das von dem Pianisten (des Ensembles) Vladyslav Sendecki stammende „Back Where I Belong”. Den krönenden Abschluß des Albums bildet das fast neunminütige, von Gary Burton (und Steve Swallow) geschriebene „Country Roads“, der bei dieser Aufnahme sowie zwei weiteren Stücken („The Time Has Come, „Mosher“) als Solist brilliert.
Brit-jazz composer and arranger Michael Gibbs was born in 1937 in Zimbabwe. Starting in 1959, he studied in Boston at the Berklee College of Music, the Boston Conservatory , Tanglewood and the Lenox School of Music, where he studied with a who's who of contemporary jazz and modern composition: George Russell, Gunther Schuller, Iannis Xenakis, Aaron Copland, Lukas Foss and others. In 1964 he moved to the UK, where he engaged himself in the rapidly emerging contemporary UK jazz scene. Starting in the late 60s and continuing into the mid 70s, he recorded a number of highly acclaimed and influential albums featuring many of the most prominent British-based jazz players who, like Michael, were beginning to flirt with jazz / rock. Since the mid 70s he has worked as a educator as well as a free-lance arranger, doing arrangements and orchestrations for major names such as Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheny, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Peter Gabriel among many others, while too infrequently recording his own music. Back In The Days is an audiophile recording of this great, too infrequently heard jazz composer and arranger fronting a well-honed 18-piece big band in a program of original modern jazz plus three specially arranged classics. The band is chock-full of great soloists and ensemble players and the legendary vibes player Gary Burton is a featured soloist.
After too many years of lack of consideration strictly because they were not Americans, the profile and interest in the 60s / 70s wave of British jazz talents has never been higher and Gibbs is one of the major names in the field. From beginning to end, Back In The Days is a delight for fans of Brit-jazz, contemporary jazz and modern big band music!
"Gibbs music is full of intriguing inner detail that does not deflect from the ultimate destiny of his pieces." – BBC Music Magazine
"Mike Gibbs' ingenious arrangements suggest a pop art incarnation of a traditional big band -- assembled from blistering guitar riffage, fiery brass and deeply idiosyncratic rhythms ...[his music]...nevertheless retains the soulfulness of conventional jazz, and for all its mind-expanding consciousness, the music speaks to the body as loudly as it does the intellect. Most impressive is the tactile sumptuousness of Gibbs' sound -- the music boasts as many tints and textures as a Pantone Color Guide." – All Music Guide
