Like you, I really don’t understand why Tibbetts has so few listeners or plays; perhaps that’s because, like you, I find it very hard to pigeon-hole what he’s trying to do . . . of course, for me, that is a selling point. Of the four discs of his I own, I suppose I have to say that I most like A Man About a Horse for its extraordinary range of both dynamics and moods. Also as you say, there’s no one else quite like him–he’s not making jazz or rock or classical or ambient records. He really is doing his own thing; he’s a genre unto himself.

Sorry I don’t have anything more sophisticated to add to your remarks–I just wanted to post a little something here by way of expressing a little gratitude that someone is listening to and thinking about a musician who greatly interests me as well.

Heh! re the Al Di Meola reference – there’s just one album of his that I love and it’s the Cielo e Terra.
