Alongside fellow podcaster Damon Grant from Discussions in Percussion, we interview vibraphonist, drummer, and bandleader Terry Gibbs about the Dream Band and Terry Pollard (05:30), an eventual interview introduction, his autobiography, and his early life and career (09:45), the beginnings of bebop and his work on Latin Jazz music (21:00), hanging out with jazz legends, stories about Benny Goodman, and how he dealt with money negotiation (34:15), Buddy Rich, a legendary 2-bar drum fill, and working and learning from Woody Herman (46:05), addiction issues within the jazz community, more about the Dream band recordings, how/when he met his recently passed wife Rebekah, and work on an upcoming documentary about his life (01:04:45).

Finishing with a Rave on Terry Gibbs’s 2003 autobiography Good Vibes (01:25:40).
