Vibraphone innovator Gary Burton recorded a wealth of material for ECM during his 15 year tenure with the label. His anthology highlights the exceptional groups he led in the 1970s and 1980s. Burton's quartets, quintets, and sextets introduced many remarkable players to a wider public, and these selections feature inspired performances by Pat Metheny, Mick Goodrick, Steve Swallow, Eberhard Weber, Bob Moses, Makoto Ozone and more. "We toured up to two hundred days a year," Burton recalls. "The recordings we made were snapshots of the evolution of my working bands during this highly productive period."
Gary Burton's contribution to the ECM Rarum series is not nearly as willfully devoted to esoterica as some others, preferring to give listeners a concise evolution of the quartets and quintets he led from 1973 to 1986. The first quartet, with guitarist Mick Goodrick, bassist Abe Laboriel, and drummer Harry Blazer, disappears after one straightforward track ("Four or Less") -- and a very young but still brilliant Pat Metheny (on electric 12-string guitar), bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer Bob Moses join Goodrick and Burton to bring more diverse colors to their sound while still burning at a rarefied, relatively quiet emotional level. There is a sizeable gap in the survey (1976-1982), and when it resumes with an urbane, relaxed performance of Mingus' "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love," Jim Odgren is on alto saxophone, the sole representative track of the five-year period where Burton swapped the guitar leads for horns. In two excerpts from Real Life Hits, horns are out and then-recent Berklee School alumnus pianist Makoto Ozone is in, with saxophonist Tommy Smith making the band a quintet again in the final track, "La Divetta." Interestingly, the tracks with Ozone have a higher energy level than the rest of the collection, leaving the impression, true or not, that Ozone was the energizing element. As a survey of Burton's working bands in mid-career -- aided by a detailed look at this period by Burton in his liner notes -- this collection achieves its modest goal, leaving another Burton ECM project (the records with Chick Corea) to the Corea volume in the Rarum series.

Gary Burton
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jan 23, 1943 in Anderson, IN
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Fusion, Post-Bop, Contemporary Jazz, Third Stream, Progressive Jazz
One of the two great vibraphonists to emerge in the 1960s (along with Bobby Hutcherson), Gary Burton's remarkable four-mallet technique (best displayed on an unaccompanied version of "No More Blues" from 1971) can make him sound like two or three players at once. He recorded in a wide variety of settings and always sounds distinctive. Self-taught on vibes, Burton made his recording debut with country guitarist Hank Garland when he was 17, started recording regularly for RCA in 1961, and toured with George Shearing's quintet in 1963. He gained some fame while with Stan Getz's piano-less quartet during 1964-1966, and then put together his own groups. In 1967, with guitarist Larry Coryell, he led one of the early "fusion" bands; Coryell would later be succeeded by Sam Brown, Mick Goodrick, John Scofield, Jerry Hahn, and Pat Metheny. Burton recorded duet sets with Chick Corea (they also toured extensively), Ralph Towner, Steve Swallow, and Paul Bley, and collaborated on an album apiece with Stephane Grappelli and Keith Jarrett. Among his sidemen in the late '70s and '80s were Makoto Ozone, Tiger Okoshi, and Tommy Smith. Very active as an educator at Berklee since joining its faculty in 1971, Burton (who teamed up with Eddie Daniels in the early '90s for an interesting Benny GoodmanLionel Hampton tribute tour and recording) remained a prominent stylist. He recorded during different periods of his career extensively for RCA, Atlantic, ECM, GRP, and Concord, releasing Like Minds through the latter in 1998. Two years later, Libertango, his tribute to tango master Astor Piazzolla, arrived. The very personal composition For Hamp, Red, Bags, and Cal was issued in 2001and in 2002 he explored classical music with a duet album Virtuosi recorded with pianist Makoto Ozone. 2004 found Burton back on more familiar ground with the release of Generations a bop-influenced quartet album for longtime label Concord
