First self-released recordings date from 1977.

Frequent collaborator: percussionist Marc Anderson.

DeBaser hosts two appreciative reviews of Steve Tibbetts highlighting his fusion of gamelan and jazz-fusion textures. Reviewers single out Yr and The Fall Of Us All for their percussion, overdubs and adventurous guitar work. Tibbetts is noted for close collaboration with percussionist Marc Anderson and for releases on ECM.

For:Listeners of experimental, world-influenced jazz-fusion and adventurous guitar music; fans of ECM and percussion-driven records.

  "Gamelan": keep this word well in mind, repeat it among yourselves as if it were a mantra, memorize it; because it is the key-word for understanding a unique album, among the absolute pinnacles of all the new experimental music of the '90s; a work infused with spiritualism, rich in ethnic sensitivity, as profound as few others.

 It is the second album of the talented multi-instrumentalist Steve who plays guitar, kalimba, and synthesizer and is excellently supported by Marc Anderson on drums and percussion, Bob Hughes on bass, Steve Cochrane and Marcus Wise on tabla, and finally Tim Weinhold who tackles bongos, pottery, and bells.
