DAVID GIBSON
“End of the Tunnel”
(Posi-Tone)
One of the downsides of Posi-Tone being the biggest purveyor of trad jazz today is that most of their releases are so earnest, they make your teeth hurt. There are exceptions, though: The wild free-jazz collective Tarbaby, Orrin Evans’ monumental Captain Black Big Band and this tasty re-imagining of Hammond B3-flavored party ja ...Read More

Had to check the calendar eight bars into the greasy boogaloo opener, Herbie Hancock’s “Blind Man, Blind Man,” because it sounded like another night at Small’s Paradise circa 1963. The same authentic feel prevails on Jared Gold’s soulful, Horace Silver-inspired “Preachin’” and his jaunty shuffle-blues “Splat.” Bandleader David Gibson has been courting this funky ...Read More

Ok, so the final installment of this 3 part series of new records from Posi-Tone is finally making its conclusion. I was originally gonna finish this up with a single review of Jared Gold’s All Wrapped Up, but a couple weeks after I got that record I received David Gibson’s End of the Tunnel. Since they both feature the same rhythm section (Gold on B3 and Q ...Read More

Trombonist David Gibson’s “End of the Tunnel” ( * *, Positone) sneaks up on you with insinuating, rather than flashy, funk grooves and sinewy textures created by a lean quartet of trombone, alto sax, organ and drums. Gibson’s evocative phrasing, which eschews speedy barrages of notes in favor of concentrated punches of melody and rhythm that get under the skin ...Read More

Soulful Late-Night Grooves from David Gibson
Out in the country, trombonist David Gibson’s new cd End of the Tunnel would be a late-night back porch album. Here in New York, it’s more of a fire-escape record, a gorgeously catchy mix of oldschool Memphis organ grooves along with some more straight-up jazz tracks which are just as tuneful if somewhat more tricky rhy ...Read More

www.allaboutjazz.com
Words like “funky” and “groovy” are often bandied about by musicians, reviewers and fans alike. Once upon a time they represented the heights of popular musical achievement; today, they’re a little anachronistic, their use more ironic than laudatory. Then something comes along that epitomizes both terms, and reclaims them as badges of honor. Tromb ...Read More
