Terry Gibbs • More Vibes On Velvet

Review by Greg Adams

More Vibes on Velvet, Terry Gibbs' sequel to his 1956 album Vibes on Velvet, pairs cheesecake cover art with Gibbs' economical, melodic vibes work on a dozen pop and jazz tunes, as well as a few originals. Gibbs' "Velvet" albums, as the titles suggest, are intended to showcase his soft and sentimental side, and his playing is accordingly restrained and subdued. The selections are all slow to midtempo ballads, from "Moonlight Serenade" and "Blues in the Night" to Gibbs' own "Lazy Sunday." In place of the sweet strings one might expect on a project such as this, Gibbs' vibraharp hovers over horn arrangements that feature Joe Maini and Charlie Kennedy, along with a piano and rhythm section that combine to create more of a jazz feel than an easy listening one. Gibbs' vibes virtuosity is on display elsewhere in his catalog -- More Vibes on Velvet is for those who enjoy soft instrumental music and the warm sound of the vibraharp.

Reseña escrita por Greg Adams

More Vibes on Velvet, la secuela de Terry Gibbs de su álbum de 1956 Vibes on Velvet, combina el arte de la tarta de queso con el trabajo económico y melódico de Gibbs en una docena de temas de pop y jazz, así como algunos originales. Los álbumes "Velvet" de Gibbs, como sugieren los títulos, están pensados para mostrar su lado suave y sentimental, por lo que su interpretación es restringida y atenuada. Las selecciones son todas de baladas lentas a medio tiempo, desde "Moonlight Serenade" y "Blues in the Night" hasta "Lazy Sunday" de Gibbs. En lugar de las dulces cuerdas que uno podría esperar en un proyecto como este, el vibración arpa de Gibbs se cierne sobre los arreglos de trompa que cuentan con Joe Maini y Charlie Kennedy, junto con una sección de piano y ritmo que se combinan para crear más una sensación de jazz que una de fácil escucha. El virtuosismo de la vibración de Gibbs está en exhibición en otra parte de su catálogo -- More Vibes on Velvet es para aquellos que disfrutan de la música instrumental suave y el sonido cálido de la vibración arpa.
