Sky Canyon Presents: “Wijic”

When considering that Sky Canyon, musical scholar of Los Angeles based jazz master, Terry Gibbs, an artist, composer, performer and producer, and with musical origins rooted through multiple genres such as Afro-Caribbean, classical, jazz, Latin, new age, rock and many more, it can be tough to know where to start!

As if the above wasn’t already enough, Sky Canyon was the driving force of a 70s rock band that wrote only their own original material, carried out numerous performances with jazz compositions and other band ensembles, was the principal percussionist in various symphony orchestras, and was one of the co-founders of a 90s Afro-Cuban drum and dance group that taught and performed in Colorado.

 

As an accomplished artist that plays numerous instruments, Sky Canyon already has a rich history of musical pedigree, having already produced marked and noteworthy albums in the 80s and 90s with Rising Sun Records and Watercourse Media, many of which received recognition and plaudits from all over the globe.

“Wijic” is yet another original production from Sky Canyon in the jazz sector, performed by a head-turning, A-List quartet of Justin Adams on piano, Ron Bland on bass, Mike Marlier on drums and, of course, Sky Canyon himself on the vibraphone. It’s a highly-spirited and energetic composition of snappy and groovy harmonies, blended with some expert solos from some of the industry’s finest.
