ECM Records GARY BURTON: SEVEN SONGS FOR QUARTET AND CHAMBER ORCHESTRA CD

Sounding as fresh today as it did in 1973, Seven Songs places the Gary Burton Quartet in an
orchestral context, with compositions of Michael Gibbs – inspired by Messiaen and Charles Ives
as well as Miles and Gil Evans – and exceptional soloing by Mick Goodrick, Steve Swallow and
Burton himself. The production is exemplary: Seven Songs set a new standard for recordings of
orchestral jazz.
