Opening with a tabla-driven folksy cover of Led Zeppelin's "Black Mountain Slide," the album leads us through a collection of original pieces written by Tibbetts and his band members that are full of rich tone colors and inventive rhythms. The percussion creates a neo-primitive feel, with the carefully layered instruments often building up to an intense cacophony of refined fury.

Big Map Idea finds Steve Tibbetts in more subdued musical terrain. This is a mature album filled with hauntingly, atmospheric, slow hypnotic dreamy depth and texture. Fans of his more frenzied electric ventures might be disappointed. This is a contemplative acoustic tour that grows on the listener over time. 9 people found this helpful.

Steve Tibbetts (born 1954) is an American guitarist and composer. He views the recording studio as a tool for creating sounds. Most of his albums include percussionist Marc Anderson. Tibbetts and Anderson have toured on other occasions, including a 1988 YR tour, a 1991–1992 Big Map Idea tour, and shows with Chöying Drolma in 1997, 1999, and 2005. Starting in the late 1980s he travelled extensively in Nepal, which is where he met Drolma. Their first collaboration, Chö, was not intended as a commercial record but it was released and gained some positive notice. The second album, Selwa, was a more carefully considered collaboration and was praised as a successful meeting between different musical traditions

Artist: Steve Tibbetts Title: Big Map Idea Year Of Release: 2018 Label: ECM Genre: Jazz Quality: 24bit-88. We see this the moment that signature slack-jawed guitar and worldly percussion paint for us a big map indeed in Black Mountain Side. And what’s this? A Led Zeppelin tune, artfully arranged and wrapped in a sparkling bow as only Tibbetts can tie it. But even when he strays into the dripping caverns of Black Year, where flames have burnt out long ago yet still flicker with feeling, we are never lost, for there is always something familiar to hold on to.

Big Map Idea, the sixth Tibbetts album, is a set of hypnotic compositions with dreamy depth and texture, quieter than most of the other Tibbetts/Anderson compositions, but with not nearly as much quiet introspective space as Tibbetts' third album, "Northern Song". To some, this might have a darker mood than others, but I find it a refreshing and enjoyable set of tracks.

Moody, pensive fourth world guitar (dobro?) ramblings, with tabla, kalimba, cello, pianolin, cello, and a slew of percussives by Tibbetts’s long-time collaborator Marc Anderson. Steel drums have never sounded so chilly! In spite of Tibbetts’s propensity for eastern instruments and modalities (and even for direct sampling, as in the field recordings of Nepalese chanting in the last three tracks), this record has always felt inescapably Appalachian to me. (Spoiler alert: the opener is a cover of Led Zeppelin’s Black Mountain Side. One thought on Steve Tibbetts – Big Map Idea, 1989.
