GARY BURTON 'Seven Songs For Quartet And Chamber Orchestra' ECM Vinyl LP (1974 Jazz)

Year of release: 1974

Michael Gibbs composed most of these pieces and conducted Hamburg's NDR Symphony Orchestra himself, folding rich textures around Gary Burton's vibraphone and quartet. Steve Swallow, the group's bassist, shares writing credit on the opening 'Nocturne Vulgaire / Arise, Her Eyes'. Lush, cinematic and faintly mysterious, ideal for a rainy afternoon.

Condition: New/Sealed/Mint
