While Gibson has astounded blues fans in the past with his dazzling harmonica acrobatics, on this new recording he embraces some of the most beautiful classic jazz melodies of all time with passionate singing and commanding,yet subtle instrumental expression. 'The Nearness Of You' is an exquisite jazz recording. From the nuances in his delivery on the opening track, "When I Fall In Love," through the buoyant resonance on his own "Darling, Please Come Home," to the wistful final track "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning," Gibson displays a maturity beyond his years.
