Gary Burton Quartet

The Gary Burton Quartet is led by American vibraphonist Gary Burton, a prominent jazz musician known for his four-mallet technique and for leading influential ensembles since the 1960s.

Gary Burton is an American vibraphonist and bandleader active since the 1960s, noted for pioneering four-mallet vibraphone technique, leading the Gary Burton Quartet, and for collaborations with Pat Metheny and Steve Swallow. He is an award-winning musician (Grammy-winning).

A single DeBaser review (rating 3/5) frames Quartet Live as a polished, contemporary-jazz live record that lacks adventurousness. The review praises musicianship (Metheny, Swallow) but criticizes a safe, revisiting approach. It's recommended for listeners who appreciate refined interplay rather than bold innovation.
