KCCK’s Featured Album for October 2024

The KCCK Featured Album for October is “Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959” from the Terry Gibbs Dream Band. After six volumes of Dream Band recordings were released in the ’80s and ’90s, a seventh volume was discovered just last year, when the famed vibraphonist’s son Gerry stumbled across a file marked ‘Party 1959’ on the computer where he had digitally stored all surviving tapes. The recently discovered gem is being released now to coincide with the leader’s 100th birthday this month. “Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959” is from Whaling City Sound Records. Purchase
