Since the mid-1960s, Jon Gibson played a key role in the development of American avant-garde music.
As a versatile reed player, he performed with everyone from Steve Reich and Philip Glass to Terry Riley and La Monte Young.
In the 1970s, Gibson would emerge as a minimalist composer in his own right and release two exceptional albums, Visitations and Two Solo Pieces, on Glass’ Chatham Square imprint.
Gibson also had a track record of composing extensively for modern and post-modern dance, with the album release Relative Calm (1981) the fruit of one of his numerous collaborations with well-known choreographers, in this case, Lucinda Childs, who commissioned the work.
