Burton,Gary Conception CD

2014 two CD collection from the astonishing virtuoso of the vibraphone. A child prodigy who achieved renown among musicians who marveled at his dazzling technique and originality of conception. Throughout a long career that traversed Nashville, George Shearing, Stan Getz, Psychedelia, improvisation, Free Jazz, Jazz Rock and Fusion, he retained a creative disposition; looking always to broaden his musical horizon and to push the boundaries of musical convention. This set, comprises Gary's 1961 debut LP as leader, NEW VIBE MAN IN TOWN (with Gene Cherico and Dave Brubeck's drummer Joe Morello), the second album, WHO IS Gary Burton? (with Chris Swansen, Phil Woods, Bob Brookmeyer, Clark Terry, Morello, John Neves and Tommy Flanagan) that followed a year later, and historic sessions of the same era in which the vibist participated (but were not released under his own name).
