| "...Gibson
expands on the strengths of the first album, while at the same time
breaking new ground. As a composer he is able to take on the traditions
of Caribbean music and inject a sense of harmony that makes it all his
own. There are plenty of memorable melodies and infectious rhythms to
appeal to a broad range of listeners. Easy on the ears, while at the
same time filled with challenge, Countermelodies is a fine effort from
an artist who deserves a broader audience." (Dave Binder, ejazznews.com) |

| "...strong
in melody and rhythm, with an effervescent, feel-good vibe that will
please a cross-section of music fans. Gibson delivers a great listening
experience on this CD. His devotion to this unique sound shows plainly
in its quality." (Wendy Ross, Jazzreview.com) |
