I was fortunate enough to hear Gary Burton with the early Larry Coryell grouping in a series of three concerts at Fairleigh Dickinson in Madison, Newark Rutgers and finally at Carnegie Recital Hall, the last of which was recorded and released by RCA. A prodigious talent, as is Larry Coryell, and a lovely guy. Ditto Steve Swallow and the entire group. Unpretentious and lovely people. Great stuff.
Absolute nutter! It's not like playing piano were the left hand plays the melody/solo and the right plays the root notes and the chords, Both hands are playing everything. Genius.
you can see right here how he and Chick Corea would have such an affinity for playing together. just saw them performing duets and it was unbelieveable.

I just got the sheet music for this solo last night. I looked over and my jaw dropped. "This is going to take a lot of work"
In conclusion, Burton OWNS

He may be the greatest vibraphone player ever, and he may have revolutionized the instrument with the Burton grip. All that is true.
But he really needs better fashion choices. That suit? Davey Crockett wants it back.
