In August 2001, Terry Gibbs was digging around in one of the closets of his Los Angeles home when came across about 25 boxes of old reel-to-reel tapes. As it turned out, some of those tapes contained previously unreleased Dream Band recordings of 1959 gigs in Hollywood. So Gibbs contacted Fantasy about the possibility of putting out some of that live material -- which had remained in the vibist/bandleader's private collection for over 40 years -- and the result is Dream Band, Vol. 6: One More Time (a generally excellent CD that Fantasy decided to release on Contemporary). In 1959, Gibbs' Dream Band was exactly that; it boasted the cream of the West Coast crop, and the L.A.-based heavyweights who Gibbs employs on these hard-swinging performances include trumpeter Conte Candoli, pianist Pete Jolly, tenor saxman Bill Perkins, and drummer Mel Lewis. Most of the material is instrumental, although singer Irene Kral has pleasing spots on the standards "Moonlight in Vermont," "Sometimes I'm Happy," and "Lover, Come Back to Me." Thankfully, the sound quality is, by late-'50s/early stereo standards, quite good. So why did recordings of this quality remain in the can for so long? Quite often, musicians will record their live shows, place the tapes in their vaults, and forget about them -- which is obviously what happened with these 1959 recordings. Gibbs had forgotten about them but was pleasantly surprised when he came across the old reel-to-reel tapes in the summer of 2001. Although generally excellent, One More Time falls short of essential; nonetheless, Gibbs' hardcore fans will be thrilled to see these recordings become commercially available after remaining in the can for so long. ~ Alex Henderson

There are six Cds all recorded live and all deserving five stars. Great atmosphere and great musicians. Don't hesitate buy them all and enjoy. I did and they are played a lot.

More dreams...... We never thought it would happen but here it is, volume 6 of Terry Gibbs and the Dream Band. This set is includes some of the longer musical items that would not have fitted easily onto an LP. Do not be put off by that statement; this is the same Big Swinging Dream Band with the best West Coast jazzmen you could wish for.
Additionally we have Irene Kral on three tracks adding some classic vocals.
If you have volumes 1-5 you MUST get this one, if you don't, then get them all.

Swinging stuff! Gibbs discovered these never-before-released sessions when cleaning up his home after an earthquake! This may indeed be the best of the Dream band albums. Totally swinging stuff & a lot of wonderful Conte Candoli. Submitted by a reviewer (Fountain Valley, CA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
TERRIFIC BAND!!!! Great stuff! Mel Lewis again!!!! Submitted by najponk (Prague) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Best table in the club Far removed from big city jazz clubs, this album took to me the best, right here in small town, USA. Especially like that it was recorded live in '59, long before I could even go to a nightclub. Submitted by a reviewer (Townsend, MT, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
