Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Jim Gibson has been, for many years, one of the Southeast's busiest commercial pianists, providing music for literally thousands of social and corporate events. Jim says, "If it can be done on a piano, I've probably done it--playing events from airplane hangers and trains to the most sophisticated society events. One thing I've learned from all this experience is that people enjoy hearing the melody, and that they like familiar songs. So, in these CDs, I've tried to combine great old tunes with a relaxed and melodic approach."
Jim has also played extensively in Europe, mostly in Italy and France. He has written four books on the music business and served as temporary chair of Georgia State University's Music Industry program.
He has two children and lives in Atlanta
Product Description
Part of the American South's enduring heritage is the rich tradition of hymns and spirituals that have been popular for many generations--sung at church, at revivals, at camp meetings, and around the home.
In this collection of solo piano improvisations, Jim Gibson brings a unique approach to these old classic tunes. It is usually quiet, but sometimes you'll hear the power of an old-time gospel pianist in the fervor of a revival service.
Jim Gibson has developed the unusual ability to blend several styles together into a very melodic and relaxing mix. The previous two CDs in this series have been extrememly popular, and this recording will join them in keeping this part of Southern history alive for new generations.
If you like great old hymns and spirituals, and appreciate consummate--but always melodic--piano-playing, you'll enjoy this recording.
Of course, these hymns were popular in other parts of the country, but it was (and is) in the South that these traditional hymns and spirituals flourished--and often the South is where they were created, too.
