How about some jazz this morning from one of the masters of the vibes, Gary Burton. Here’s a performance at the 2011 Seoul Jazz Festival: Open Your Eyes, You Can Fly! I’ve said it many times, when I need to relax and write at work Gary Burton comes on the iPod nothing much better!! Some nice guitar on this one! Better check out Gary’s album with this new line-up!
So last night I mentioned that I love the vibraphone and the three musicians that I’ve listen to the most are Gary Burton, Milt Jackson and Cal Tjader. I love all three and probably in the order I listed. I’ve also listened to Bobby Hutcherson and Walt Dickinson and like them also. Here is a video of Gary Burton and Makoto Ozone (see Thursday Mix Part 2) – doing a Cal Tjader song “Afro Blue” A version of that song can be found on my favorite Gary Burton CD For Hamp, Red, Bags, and Cal You can learn more…
