Improvisation

“Great musicians are no respecters of borders, they cross them at will, and in doing so define their own territory. Gary Burton’s career has spanned that porous borderland between jazz and rock music, between the strictures of academia and the spontaneity of live performance. It has been a fascinating journey through the great plains of music towards the high plateaux of the realized self. Bravo!”
