Don’t know this album. I’ll check it out.I had one private lesson with him. on vibes. in 1979. Nicest guy..
here's the album I liked (best)back then with pete erskine)
I'm gonna have to find these two CD's with Joe Morello AND Gary Burton! Two iconic players!
With Gary Burton
[/QUOTE
- 1961 New Vibe Man in Town
- 1962 Who Is Gary Burton?
Morello and Burton also recorded Jazz Winds From A New Direction (Aug ‘60), It’s About Time (June ‘61) and Joe Morello Orchestra (Aug ‘62). Morello said that RCA wanted he and Burton to have a group together and that they would really get behind it and publicize it but Morello “was comfortable with Dave (Brubeck) so I wouldn’t do it. RCA couldn’t see putting all this promotion behind my solo albums if I was still going to be with Dave.”
I bet I'm older, I heard "Inna gadadavida"(sp?) when it was new (I'm not saying it was good, but it was one of the only rock solos, OLD). Have you heard "Crystal Since", a duet album with Gary Burton and Chick Corea? It's one of my favorites!I have been so diggin' on Gary Burton stuff lately. I've bought a couple CD's and have gotten nearly every CD our library system has. And I'm a heavy metal/progressive rock kinda guy.
Does anyone else like Gary?
I remember when that Iron Butterfly song first came out, and I tried to copy it.I bet I'm older, I heard "Inna gadadavida"(sp?) when it was new (I'm not saying it was good, but it was one of the only rock solos, OLD).

Such a loss to the music world. I have a lot of Gary Burton recordings, but Crystal Silence, a duo record with Chick Corea, is my favourite.Here is why he retired:
Why are you retiring?
The simple answer is health reasons. I had six heart operations and I suffered some cognizant issues after the last one, which was a major one. I was without a heartbeat for half an hour and was revived. After I recovered, I noticed I didn’t have perfect pitch any more, which I had all my life. I also noticed that I had trouble sight-reading and everything that required intense concentration became a struggle. My playing reached a peak a few years ago and was now moving downward. I always said that I didn’t want to one day be a musician who could hardly play anymore … So, two years ago, I started the process of winding down. That’s now ending with this little tour.
Wow, I keep watching this one over and over. It's very entertaining. Love it!Here’s another good one.
