Editorial Reviews

jazziz.com 2009

"The sheer fluidity of their playing and the manner in which they anticipate each other's next move is a thing to behold."

Product Description

Specially-priced 4-CD set reprising the history-making recordings Chick Corea and Gary Burton made for ECM in the 70s. The duo was a seldom-tested format in jazz when the musicians - at the instigation of producer Manfred Eicher - came together for Crystal Silence, but its luminous music proved a resounding success. Both Duet and the Zürich recordings won Grammy awards, and Corea/Burton have continued to make music together for 35 years! This box shows how the story began. Two live selections I'm Your Pal/Hullo, Bolinas and Love Castle appear on CD for the first time in this collection. The booklet includes liner notes by acclaimed Swiss journalist Peter Rüedi and writer Steve Lake, and many archival photos.

This review is from: Crystal Silence The ECM Recordings 1972-79 (Audio CD)

ECM is to be commended for this budget-priced reissue. Besides bringing all these recordings together, it reinstates the missing LP side 3 from the Zurich Concert. Sparkling, thoughtful, engaging music.
