Gary Burton Quartet: Gary Burton (vibraphone); Pat Metheny (electric guitar); Steve Swallow (electric bass); Dan Gottlieb (drums). Additional personnel: Eberhard Weber (acoustic bass). Recorded at Talent Studio, Oslo, Norway in November 1976. Personnel: Gary Burton (vibraphone); Pat Metheny (guitar, electric guitar); Steve Swallow (bass guitar); Dan Gottlieb, Danny Gottlieb (drums). Recording information: Talent Studio, Oslo, Norway (11/1976). Photographers: Roberto Masotti; Lajos Keresztes. Guitarist Pat Metheny was a member of vibraphonist Gary Burton's group from 1974-1976, but although he had recorded with Burton twice previously, both of those dates also included guitarist Mick Goodrick. This particular set puts more of a focus on Metheny in a quintet that also includes drummer Danny Gottlieb and both Steve Swallow and Eberhard Weber on basses. Metheny contributed three of the six selections, which are joined by a song apiece from Swallow, Weber, and Chick Corea ("Sea Journey"). Although none of the individual songs caught on, the attractive sound of the post-bop unit and an opportunity to hear Pat Metheny in his formative period make this a CD reissue worth exploring. ~ Scott Yanow Producer: Manfred Eicher Engineer: Jan Erik Kongshaug Musical Guests Pat Metheny Steve Swallow Danny Gottlieb   Compilation Appearances Complete Rodgers & Hart Songbo Jazz & The Sunday Times Morning Cup Of Jazz Intimate Evening Great Day Of Jazz Montreal Jazz Festival Colors Of Latin Jazz/shades Of Jobim Concord Records 30th Anniversary Box R S V P ( Rare Songs, Very Personal)   Associated Artists and Works Beck, Joe (Jazz) Beck, Joe (Jazz) Beck, Joe (Jazz) Jamal, Ahmad Metheny, Pat Partners in Time   Technical Info Release Date : 03/20/2001 Original Release Date : 1976 Catalog ID : 835016-2 Label : ECM Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 40m : 29s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : AAD UPC : 00042283501621    Product Image
