Artist Biography
Gary Burton (born January 23, 1943, Anderson, Indiana) is an American jazz vibraphonist. A true original on the vibraphone, Burton developed a pianistic style of four-mallet technique as an alternative to the usual two-mallets.

Since my earlier comment, I've purchased this album and I adore it; there isn't a dud track on it.
Whether you're a vibes player, guitarist, bassist, drummer or purely a Burton fan - there are elements in blissful album to be savoured. Ideal sounds for the Spring season just around the corner! The Jazzbear strongly suggests that jazz lovers at least listen to it.
"Bewitching", is how I'd describe some of the delightful segments I've heard from "Common Ground" via Gary's official website.The overall sound is similar to that of another old favourite Gary Burton album,"Country Roads and Other Places," which sadly doesn't appear to have ever been issued on CD.
Anyway, think I might end up adding this to the collection. Yes, more expense, yet a life without pleasure is a life half lived!
