After fielding a steady stream of requests for adaptble sheet music versions of my compositions, I am finally able to offer this "fake" book designed for performers, arrangers, educators, and students. The book contains 57 songs in about 240 pages, presented in condensed lead sheet format and, where appropriate, instrument-specific parts. Roughly two-thirds of the music is directly transcribed or adapted from the scores from the original recordings. The rest of the music remains either unrecorded or unreleased, and span the quarter century between 1985 and 2010. With content ranging from calypso to post-bop, ska to swing, funk to ballads, there are surprises waiting for you at every turn of the page. A complete tune list is below.
The book is spiral bound and printed on high-quality, standard letter-sized paper.
"What sets this resource apart from similar collections is its sheer volume. Gibson's work is extremely detailed....enough information is provided that musicians could recreate the charts almost exactly as they are realized on Gibson's recordings. The presentation is both meticulous and thoughtful. This fake book is not only a fantastic collection of charts, but also a summation of Gibson's work over the past 25 years, primarily in the pan-jazz idiom." - Chris Tanner, Percussive Notes Magazine
