Lonely Dreams is an instrumental jazz piece by vibraphonist Terry Gibbs. It was released in 1955 as part of the Terry Gibbs Quartet and later included on Mallets A-Plenty, with sessions recorded in New York City on September 14, 1955 and June 15, 1956. The track features Gibbs on vibraphone and Terry Pollard on piano, delivering a swinging, dreamlike mood that showcases the trio's tight four-hands interaction. The tune appears on the EmArcy label releases and has been highlighted on the Fresh Sound Records CD Terry Gibbs Quartet Featuring Terry Pollard as track 2. In genre terms, Lonely Dreams sits squarely in mid-1950s instrumental jazz with a strong bop-inflected swing.
