4.0 out of 5 stars Great Encounter of Keith and Gary, January 31, 2001

It is very hard to describe the talents of Keith Jarrett and Gary Burton by one word since each of their play covers from traditional Jazz to folk rock or even classical music. However, as a big fan of both musicians (especially Keith), let me state that this is a great album. You will feel pleasure of listening of their musical collaboration. Listen to "Como En Vietnam". Each time I hear it, I cannot deny that I become excited about their play. Keith, Gary, and the bassist Steve Swallow inspired each other and made a real creation in this tune. If you like either Keith Jarrett or Gary Burton, I personally believe that you should not miss the chance to hear their great collaboration in this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Mix, August 16, 2000

This is a nice mix of stuff Burton did a few decades ago. It's two LPs on one CD - Keith Jarrett is on only one of the LPs, so he's on just half the CD. Some of the part with Jarrett is about as close to jazz/rock fusion as I have heard either of them play, but it's not cliche, it's good stuff, bright, fine melodies, creative rhythm changes - it still sounds fresh, hearing it again after all these years. Then there's some more tranquil tracks, it's not all of one rhythm. Moonchild, and In Your Quiet Place, etc., memorable, fine tunes. The other half of the CD is the LP Throb, very different from the part with Jarrett, more moody in parts - the rhythm of the title cut does just what it says, throbbing with yearning - but the LP is also in parts light and whimsical, like bassist Swallow's composition - what's it called, Doing the Chicken? A good double album CD, a nice mix of two very different vintage Burton LPs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two in One, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Gary Burton & Keith Jarrett (Audio CD)

Two of the Vibraphonist Gary Burton's albums reissued on 1 single CD.
On the first album, Burton teams up with pianist Keith Jarrett and guitarist Sam Brown delivering a fantastic Jazz recording.
The second album Burton plays with Steve swallow and guitarist Jerry Hahn.
In these two recordings, Burton was in his most exploring period, delivering music, that although dates from 1969 and 1970, still sounds very tight and fresh today.
Recommended.
