Gary Jibilian-The NS Stick Guitar/Bass

Todd Glass-Drums, Percussion

The NS Stick is an 8-stringed combination of bass and guitar.. really a fascinating instrument. Gary Jibilian has mastered this instrument to bring a new era of sound to music.

JIBILIAN/GLASS consists of two veteran Detroit area musicians, Gary Jibilian, and Todd Glass. Though there are only two members in the band, they amaze listeners, who swear that there are at least three people playing simultaneously at all times. This "illusion" is credited largely to Gary's mastery of the NS/Stick, the new eight string tapping instrument co-designed by Ned Steinberger and Emmett Chapman, and handmade by Chapman, creator of the Stick, who's most notable player is Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson).

On August 31, 2000, Gary received his NS/Stick, and immediately began to play this eight string monster with relative ease, mainly due to the fact that has been tapping on the bass guitar for the past twelve years. He began writing instrumentals, and looking for other musicians to join his new band, but with no success. The guitarists that auditioned would say, "You're playing all of the parts that I would play! You don't need a guitar player!"

Gary came to realize that he could do without a guitarist, but he definitely wanted a talented, dynamic drummer. After Todd was first introduced to the NS/Stick, he was hooked. It was an obvious choice to have Todd as the drummer, since he shared the same enthusiasm, and vision as Gary. JIBILIAN/GLASS was born!

In addition to playing live every Sunday night at The Music Menu, in Detroit, they had the honor of opening for Bill Bruford's EARTHWORKS on June 1st in Ferndale, Mi., and that same night were booked by the club owner to open for CAB on June 23.

JIBILIAN/GLASS are the "Real Deal!"

  • Jibilian is a Master of the N/S Stick!
    author: PT Quinn

    A N/S Stick is a combination of a Chapman Stick and a Ned Steinberger Bass. The two handed Tapping Method of playing it allows the player to do bass licks and leads at the same time. Here Jibilian and Glass demonstrate their brand of Rock/Jazz fusion to great effect. Galaxy Rodeo is full of fresh imaginative ideas that while may not be to everybodys taste, for the open minded is a rewarding experience unlike anything else out there. A totally original sound draws the listener into a brave new world. Jibilian really rocks amongst the funk grooves!

  • Bad Bad Bad

    This CD is full of sloppy sloppy skills. The drummer is talented, but the bass player is extremly sloppy. 1 thumb down, since there is 2 guys in the band, and the drummer is good.

    This is one CD you have to buy.

  • Wow!
    author: Laura T. Lynch, Kweevak.com

    This dynamic duo has fashioned a vibrant seven-track collection of instrumentals. Their songs are full sounding thanks to Gary's expertise on the NS Stick. The NS stick is a string instrument that combines the deep beats of the bass and the traditional sound of a guitar. Thus, it sounds like Jibilian is playing two instruments simultaneously. Todd provides precise clean percussion throughout. Their drum and bass combination is a far cry from beat laden dance music and much closer to improvisational rock. Jibilian and Glass are a tight twosome with a single purpose of creating captivating music. They have succeeded with the unique mesmerizing sounds of Galaxy Rodeo. This CD is flawlessly produced and the music is funky and entrancing. Galaxy Rodeo is an out of this world ho down!
