Best known for his work on the original motion picture version of Grease (1978) and the Broadway musical revivals of Cabaret (1998) and Steel Pier (1997),[1] Gibson frequently worked with the famous composer-lyricist partnership of John Kander and Fred Ebb. He received five nominations for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Orchestrations: My One and Only (1983 - won), Anything Goes (1988), Steel Pier (1997), Cabaret (1998), and The Wild Party (2000).

Gibson also worked on motion pictures, including Merchant Ivory's Roseland (1976), for which he composed, arranged and orchestrated, and Robert Benton's thriller Still of the Night (1982), for which he orchestrated John Kander's score.

Gibson was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware and attended Harvard University for two years before transferring to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts to study music composition and theory.[1] Gibson died in Dover, New Jersey in July 2005 after a lengthy battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Ellen, and son Andrew.[1]
