Album notes
Personnel: Gary Burton (vibraphone); Pat Metheny (guitar, guitars); Steve Swallow (electric bass, bass guitar); Antonio Sanchez (drums). Vibraphonist Gary Burton's classic quartet of the late `60s, consisting of Burton and guitarist Larry Coryell (later, Pat Metheny), bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer Roy Haynes, are often credited with laying the groundwork for the aggressive jazz-rock fusions of the `70s. Nearly four decades on from their, initial, pioneering efforts, original quartet members and jazz legends Burton, Metheny, and Swallow, along with newcomer drummer Antonio Sanchez, have assembled for QUARTET LIVE!, an 11-song live document recorded at Yoshi's Jazz Club in Oakland, California. Revisiting Burton (and Metheny) penned originals as well as material by Duke Ellington and Chick Corea, the group reaches new virtuosic heights, offering a fresh, modern slant on the fusion genre.
Editorial reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 -- The moods and textures here are impressively varied...with Swallow's multicolor, shape-shifting 'Falling Grace,' one of several showcases for the quicksilver grace of the bassist's five-string work... Down Beat

1 CENT CD: Gary Burton & Pat Metheny 'Quartet Live' '09
Condition of CD: Mint Condition!
Original Gary Burton Quartet players Gary Burton, Pat Metheny and Steve Swallow, along with new member Antonio Sanchez, bring their modern jazz history to new life with this all-new 11-song live recording .
One review reads 'Gary Burton has been playing with Vibes-Guitar Quartets for literally decades now, so this format should not come as a surprise to any longtime fan. Nor should the high quality of musicianship coming from this particular band (Gary Burton on Vibes, Pat Metheny on guitar, Steve Swallow on bass and newcomer Antonio Sanchez on drums). I will say that despite this I was still surprised at how great this album is. This is a sort of reunion of one of the older Gary Burton quartets, with Metheny and Swallow, but I cant think of any previous Burton quartet album that has come out better. From start to finish, we are treated to a really great show.
Gary Burton is one of the most gifted improvisers of all time. He displays such a spectacular melodic and rhythmic sense in everything he does. this album is no exception. If you have ever heard and liked Burton before, you will like him here certainly. Metheny is another musician of prodigious talent, though I have found his more recent work less consistent. I bought 'Tokyo Day Trip' expecting to be wowed (especially with Christian McBride playing bass and Sanchez on drums)and I wasn't. It sounded dry to me, and identical all his other recent albums. Although that album has grown on me in the months since I bought, I couldn't help but wonder if some of the passion that had made his earlier performances so amazing (see 80/81 or his recording with Ornette Coleman 'Song X') was gone. I can happily say that if it was gone, it has come back strongly for this recording. His solos are tasteful, but exciting and his comping is perfectly timed. The last member from the earlier quartets is bassist Steve Swallow, who although rarely in the spotlight does a fine job throughout.
The new member is drummer Antonio Sanchez. I have followed him for last year or two with great interest. He is one of the more interesting newer drummer on the scene. His beats are always very complicated, sometimes busy, but he never overpowers the rest of the band. In this setting he excels, keeping the fast songs exciting, the slow songs mellow and lending one or two fabulous solos (he has an extended solo on 'Missouri Uncompromised' which is great).
the band fits together well, interacting as if by telepathy. They are never in each other's way, as is often the case in mediocre bands, but instead move freely around each other without ever losing the core of the song. Whether on a fast tune (Syndrome) or a slower one (Fleurette Africaine) they could not sound more together. The old Gary Burton Quartet standards have never sounded better (this may be my new favorite iteration of 'Falling Grace').
A week ago, in anticipation of its release, I tried to listen to the samples on this Amazon page. What I heard was like the old Burton quartet played two or three times as fast. Luckily this is an issue not with the music, but with the amazon samples, which must have been sped up somehow. In reality this is a great release. If you've been a fan, you'll love this. If your new, I suspect you'll love it as well. '
