 The Diverse Vibes of Gary Burton
Burton was extremely diverse in an instrument that was perceived as being limited and these two recordings show his eclecticism.
Long before Miles Davis filled San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium, Gary Burton shared a bill at the venue with the Electric Flag and Cream and like some "Hendrixian ritual", the band would finish their live performances by piling their instruments at the center of the stage and solemnly departing.
This comparison is further shown with Burton’s version of Jarrett’s "Moonchild/In Your Quiet Place." In addition, Burton displays his long time companionship with bassist Steve Swallow with a live version of Swallow’s "Green Mountains/Arise, Her Eyes" and studio renditions of "Hullo, Bolinas" and "General Mojo’s Well Laid Plan", which also appeared on Duster.
