Gary Burton - Gary Burton Quartet in Concert

Previously released only in Japan on CD, this exceptional live recording originally issued on RCA in 1968 is one of the peaks of vibraphone virtuoso Gary Burton's stellar discography. Burton's Quartet in 1968 (they had been touring and recording for 2 years, performing an original and popular fusion of Jazz, Avant-garde, Jazz-Rock and Pop) is one of the best groups he ever put together : blistering Jazz-Rock pioneer Larry Coryell on guitar, lyrical bassist Steve Swallow, and powerful drummer Bobby Moses. Gary Burton Quartet in Concert catches the group live at Carnegie Recital Hall in New York on February 23, 1968. Works by Michael Gibbs, Coryell, and a striking cover of Bob Dylan's 'I Want You' are performed along with Burton originals, including the magical 'Sunset Bell. '
