Gerry S Gibbs - Drums Michelle Garibay Carey - Vocals, Percussion Jerry Espinoza - Woodwinds Eric Hargett - Woodwinds Tommy Howard - Guitar James Suter - Double Bass Gerry Gibbs is a Grammy nominated drummer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, band leader, composer & arranger. His father is jazz vibraphone legend & band leader Terry Gibbs; who is among the earliest pioneers from the be-bop era. In 2021, Gerry's much-anticipated new CD Songs From My Father has extended the vision of his Thrasher Dream Trio once again.
In this latest contribution, Gibbs presents four iterations of his acclaimed trio. Despite being in the midst of theCovid 19 pandemic, Gibbs commenced on a nationwide trek of over 15,000 miles to (safely) capture recordings of himself alongside friends and collaborators that he considers the finest improvisors of our time. With Gibbs in the drum chair, the Thrasher Dream Trios include 1. Chick Corea & Ron Carter, 2. Kenny Barron & Buster Williams, 3. Patrice Rushen & Larry Goldings and 4. Geoff Keezer & Christian McBride. Under Gerry’s direction, he and his band pay homage to the musical legacy of Gerry’s father, Terry Gibbs (now 96 years old). Songs From My Father features the last recorded performance of the great Chick Corea.
In addition to leading his own projects, Gerry is an in demand drummer who has worked with many jazz greats, including Mccoy Tyner, Alice Coltrane, Stanley Clarke, Joe Henderson, Hubert Laws, James Moody, Sam Rivers, Patrice Rushen, Dewey Redman, Eddie Harris, Mike Stern, Larry Coryell, Randy Brecker, Tom Harrell, and Brad Mehldau. Gerry's versatility has enabled him to work with a variety of artists from other genres as well: Parliament Funkadelic, Rose Royce, Flying Lotus and even legendary comedian Steve Allen.
