jazzweek.com • November 27, 2006 JazzWeek 8 Artist Q&A: Terry Gibbs

photo: Theo & Juliet erry Gibbs talks in short energetic bursts, paus- ing for a sec and then continuing with his Tthought. Even after all these years of living out West, he still has that nervous East Coast energy. Perhaps he’s kept his edge because of his playing, or perhaps it is just hard-wired into his DNA. What- ever the reason, he goes a million miles a minute. Even so, the scenery is never boring – from a child prodigy to working musician on 52ⁿd Street to an el- der statesmen, he’s got countless stories. JazzWeek caught up with him at his home. – Tad Hendrickson

JazzWeek: So what’s the secret to your longevity? Terry Gibbs: It’s what God put in your system, I suppose. If you’re mentally healthy then maybe your body will stay healthy. My father was like 95 or 96 when he died so I have longevity in my family. I wonder if music helps, what with the necessity of higher brain function and motor skills needed for im- provisation. I deﬁnitely think it does. I know for me it works. I do everything hard – I know that when I throw myself into a project I throw myself into it. And when I do nothing, I do that better than anyone else. Everything hard. There is no question that that mentality comes out in your playing. ➤ jazzweek.com • November 27, 2006 JazzWeek 9 Artist Q&A: Terry Gibbs (continued)

The reason for that is that I play for me. It’s nice if everyone likes what I do, but if I don’t like it, then it sucks. I’ve gotten standing ovations and walked off the stage sick because I knew I hadn’t played anything new. When did you first feel that you could actually play the vibes pretty good? Last night. Seriously, I was a child prodigy at 12 years old. I’ve been on the road for 70 years. I know every cockroach in every hotel in the world. I’m their friend. When you’re in Paris or Germany or someplace, you’ve got to have someone to talk to. Do you still enjoy traveling? No. Actually I’m at the point now where I have to travel in business class and I want my wife to travel with me because it’s no fun traveling alone. Nine times out of ten, the price of getting us there is too expensive for the people who want to book me, but I don’t really care. I haven’t done everything, but I’m lucky and fortunate enough to have done a lot. So it makes sense that you had to write an autobiography. It’s very anecdotal. It’s my stories about Steve Al- len and the Woody Herman band that had Stan Getz and Zoot Sims and all that. There’re stories about Bird, Diz and everybody. They’re my stories and I put it together and it won the Deems Tay- lor ASCAP Award. The funny thing is I’m not a writer. You’re a writer. When they called me, I thought they were putting me on. What was it like to work with Steve Allen? I got a million stories. He hired people because he thought they were talented. He thought that jazz musicians and comedy writers were the most talented people in all of show business. It’s because these people use their mind. Do you think he was a decent piano player? He was okay. The thing was, his mind went in so many directions besides music. One time in Las Vegas he was writing these songs, and he’d have a guy writing down music as he made it up because he couldn’t read music. Then he also had his secretary there and was dictating a letter to Vice President Hum- phrey. So he’d be doing all these things, it was like four bars of one thing then four bars of another. He was doing it all at one time. When did you first come across Bird and Diz? When I came home while I was in the service. Hearing them, it was just ➤ jazzweek.com • November 27, 2006 JazzWeek 10 Artist Q&A: Terry Gibbs (continued)

something that you didn’t believe. It turned music all the way around. There was a record ban at that time, so we couldn’t hear what was going on from records. So the name Charlie Parker was completely unknown to me until a guy I grew up with named Tiny Kahn took me to 52ⁿd Street. I do everything Did you know right away that the music was brilliant? I literally had a nervous breakdown. It was something I had been looking for hard – I know all my life. I stayed until the bar closed at 4 a.m. and then I would follow them that when I throw up to Minton’s and from one place to another. At about three in the afternoon I would sleep in doorways in my Army uniform and then people would wake myself into a me up and chase me away. Then I would go back to 52ⁿd Street. My folks had the police looking for me. Then I went back to the army and tried to play like project I throw them. I would play four million notes and the first note was always right and myself into it. And the last one was always right, but in-between all those notes were probably all wrong. I actually learned more from Dizzy. Charlie Parker was like Gershwin “when I do nothing, and his choruses were always better than the original. Dizzy actually played more like a percussion player, so it was easy for me to learn from him. I do that better Did you pick bebop up pretty quickly? than anyone else. I did because it was something I already had been looking for. I found what I Everything hard. was looking for in my life. Let’s talk about the new record. Are you happy with it? I’m really happy because it went top 10 on the charts. It’s right up there with household names like Diana Krall, Count Basie and Ray Charles. I’m as happy with this one as I was with the last ones that went to No. 1. You can play a bunch of different percussion instruments. What drew you to the vibes? Well, because of the notes that go with the playing. There was only a certain amount that I would have done by playing the drums, and there was so much more to do with the vibes. These days, drummers can take a lot more liberties. In those days it was just um-chick-um-chick. Art Blakey could do that um- chick all day and make it sound great. Are you proud of your son? I think he’s a great drummer. I didn’t use him until he was 19. If my mother couldn’t sing, then I couldn’t use her. Music is that important to me – just because he’s my son doesn’t mean he can play in my band. He played in my band because he’s good drummer first and foremost. Do you have any other kids who play? I have a daughter who doesn’t play and likes country and western music. I don’t let her in the house very often. I was visiting Buddy Rich once in the hospital. They were going to put him under and they asked him: “Is there anything you are allergic to?” He said: “Yeah. Country and western music.” JW jazzweek.com • November 27, 2006 JazzWeek 11 Jazz Radio
