Feb 22, 2017
On February 20th,
Midwest Record Entertainment posted the
following review of
Weather or Not, which is the upcoming
Gerry Gibbs & Thrasher People album being released on
February 24th:
“WHALING CITY SOUND
GERRY GIBBS & THRASHER PEOPLE/Weather or Not: Gibbs has long convinced us he’s one of the driving wheel/spark plugs of contemporary jazz and here he feels the need to drive the point home on a twofer that is packed to the gills with plenty of stuff to blow your mind.. The disc opens with his new band doing a trio take on Weather Report. The other disc is back to his originals that he’s been keeping in hiding for years. The drummer that knows how to give everyone else some takes it to the next level of the game on this tour de force that’ll simply blow your ears wide open. Not a false note in the bunch, this is a high water mark for contemporary jazz. Hot stuff.”

Oscar from
O’s Place Jazz Newsletter has reviewed Greg Murphy’s
Summer Breeze as follows:
“This is an upbeat jovial set with pianist Greg Murphy leading the charge backed by bassist Eric Wheeler and Kush Abadey on drums. Malou Beauvoir provides vocals on “Sophisticated Lady” with a strong solo from trumpeter Josh Evans. She also sings the R&B infused “A Reason To Smile” with brass accompaniment by Jay Rodriguez (sax) and Corey Wilcox (tb) along with the classic title track. Evans mesmerizes us on “Fall” making Summer Breeze a memorable and well-balanced set.”
