“[M]usic was my whole life. It probably still is. I have a little radio behind me in my bed, and I sometimes put on the news. So long as somebody’s talking, I’m writing music in my head. I once wrote a song called “4 am” that came to me when was listening to the radio. I got up at 4:00 in the morning and heard the song in my head.
I had a great marriage. I have great children and great grandchildren. I love them all. But playing music was just as important to me. So was playing with the great players I was able to play with because you’re only as good as what’s behind you.” - Terry Gibbs

“I was twenty when I joined Benny Goodman‘s band. Benny was forty-two at the time. But after we played about four bars, we were the same age, you know? That’s what jazz does to you. It has nothing to do with race, creed, or age; when two people play together, that’s all that counts.” - Terry Gibbs

In part one, we cover the Dream Band, learning from Fred Albright, working with Benny Goodman and Charlie Parker, providing music for Regis Philbin and Steve Allen, and more. Dream Band’s ‘Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959’ is out now on Whaling City Sound
