Terry Gibbs and His Exciting Big Band

Mercury Records SR 60704

1962

From Billboard - November 17,1962: The Terry Gibbs hallmark for years has been excitement, and on this LP, the Gibbs big band once again underlines the word. The leader is out front on vibes and his band swings and shouts with vigor. In addition, there are some fine solos played by top-flight artists on the West Coast scene. The set was recorded on location, but liner information neglects to name the spot. "Tico Tico," "Big Bad Bob," "Do You Wanna Jump Children." "Pretty Blues Eyes" and "Nature Boy" are some of the better tracks.
