From Me to You

From Me to You

Vibist Terry Gibbs pays homage to jazz hero Lionel Hampton, "Father of the Vibes", whom the jazz community sadly lost in August, 2002. Performing songs closely associated with Hampton, Gibbs captures the spirit and vibrancy of his hero and mentor, lovingly known as "Gates". Gibbs also offers new songs, which he wrote in Hampton's memory. Fans of Gibbs will be excited to hear him on vocals for the first time in more than 50 years, and perform a new song playing the piano as he would a vibraphone, with just two fingers -- a rare technique perfected by Hampton.
