Now, Gibbs and his Thrasher People sextet are scheduled to take Jazz'SAlive's main stage Friday, Sept. 23. The 7 p.m. performance will mark his first time playing the free two-day festival since he departed the Alamo City for New York. That right group of musicians was Thrasher People, which is comprised of San Antonio and Austin players including vocalist Michelle Garibay-Carey, the daughter of the late and legendary Chicano bluesman Randy Garibay. The band is recording a new album next year and plans to hit the road for extensive touring.
That's something the drummer hopes to repeat with the forthcoming Thrasher People LP. The ensemble isn't just a collection of sidemen latched onto his star but a group of eager collaborators in it for the long haul, he said. Part of Gibbs' musical appeal — Thrasher People included — is that for all the complexity he brings to the table, it's not ponderous listening. As a composer and bandleader, he understands how to be accessible without drifting into smooth-jazz pandering.
The members of Thrasher People share a similar artistic restlessness, Gibbs said. Most jazz fans enjoy a wide spectrum of music and are eager to hear musicians explore outside the genre. Further, the band's R&B, hip-hop and rock influences provide an on ramp for listeners who aren't deeply immersed in jazz.
