What did you think of the Burton Country Roads album? I see it's available as a two-fer on CD.Speaking of Hutch and Burton -- these are my two all-time faves, both cut in 1967.
Duster, Lofty Fake anagram, In Concert, and Country Roads are all five star albums recorded in succession. They represent Gary Burton’s innovative group at their peak.What did you think of the Burton Country Roads album? I see it's available as a two-fer on CD.
Absolutely! TjbBmb nails it! This is 1967-68 and Gary's very much aware of the pop revolution underway -- underscored given his choice of electric guitarists, Larry Coryell or Jeff Hahn. If you fancy those albums, you may also consider one release prior (Tennessee Firebird [SEP66]) and one release beyond (Throb [JUN69]). To me, these are not at the 5-star standard as the other four, yet are surely strong records and quite listenable.Duster, Lofty Fake anagram, In Concert, and Country Roads are all five star albums recorded in succession.

Here you go: I believe this is all of them (except 3 in Jazz). Oh, I added Throb (Atlantic '69) to the photo as it continues the feel of Country Roads & Other Places.I loved Burton on RCA.

On the RCA lps with Burton, it's interesting to hear the musical evolution of the artist as well as seeing how his look dramatically changed over a short period of time. From the photo on the back of "Who Is" to his long hair look on Duster is quite a change! I do recall "Throb" and an unusual song called "Chickens". And one more excellent lp was his Atlantic pairing with Keith Jarrett which had a terrific Steve Swallow number called "Como En Vietnam".One more.
Who is Gary Burton from 1962.
Thanks, TjbBmb -- Somehow I missed that one...I'll need to check it out -- Clark Terry's on it!One more.

That's the next LP -- cut in JUL70. Swallow's contributions are central to the group's late '60s evolution. You previously mentioned General Mojo: that's the performance I play for those who insist jazz/rock fusion began with Miles' Stuff (MAY68). Not that it matters, but for history's sake, Gary was about 6 months ahead of Miles (as Miles's first foray into jazz/rock fusion commenced with Circle In The Round (DEC67)).On the RCA lps with Burton, it's interesting to hear the musical evolution of the artist as well as seeing how his look dramatically changed over a short period of time.

Oh, my! I hadn't thought about that in 40 years! Yes, a friend played that for me in High School. I need to look for that release now. Thanks a million, Rudy!I can't find it on YouTube, but the Chick Corea/Gary Burton album Duet on ECM had their version of Corea's "La Fiesta" that outshines the version on Corea's Return to Forever album.
