Burton brings a fluid sense of Swing to often "left of the mainstream" musical ideas, making him a forward-thinking Post Bop artist who builds on the past, often to startling effect. He has recorded some great sides with Chick Corea, but we recommend <I>Departure</I> (1997), where his recording of the <I>Frazier</I> theme returns the song to its shimmering, George Shearing-style roots. Like his fellow vibes master, Bobby Hutcherson, Burton keeps experimenting while pleasing audiences -- making him a shining light in modern mainstream jazz. - Nick DedinaPost Bopen720Sun, 20 Dec 2009 22:27:01 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.55123&rws=%2Fgary-burton%2Fmusic-videos.rss Gary Burton first showed off his vibraphone technique with George Shearing and Stan Getz, often playing with four mallets instead of the usual two.
