Gary Burton – Take Another Look: A Career Retrospective (180g Vinyl 5LP Box Set)

Audiophile Quality 180g Vinyl 5LP Box Set Retrospective Encompassing Gary Burton’s 50+ Year Career Complete With A Previously Unreleased Track & 12-Page Booklet!

Gary Burton has had a vibrant and busy career playing with Chick Corea, Chet Atkins, Stan Getz, Quincy Jones, Arif Mardin, Pat Metheny and many more. Along the way, he has been nominated for more than a dozen Grammy Awards, winning seven. His four-mallet technique has exploded the music world, showing the capacity for the vibraphone to offer a range and depth no less versatile than that of the piano.

Mack Avenue was honored to be Burton’s final home, releasing two critically acclaimed albums by his remarkable New Quartet featuring guitarist and protégé Julian Lage, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Antonio Sánchez. But Take Another Look encompasses the entirety of Burton’s 50+-year career, from his attention-grabbing early releases for industry powerhouse RCA Victor, through his wide-ranging sessions for Atlantic and his iconic ECM recordings, on to his fusion-era reinvention on GRP and his eclectic and generation-spanning efforts for Concord and Mack Avenue.

Based on the evidence of these five LPs, Burton’s legacy is an estimable one, a wealth of riches traversing the boundaries of genre, style, nation or generation. It’s nearly impossible to summarize such an adventurous career, but Take Another Look offers a stunning and well-curated overview in 35 tracks over five 180-gram vinyl LPs – including one previously unreleased offering from the New Quartet, a rendition of Pat Metheny’s “Elucidation” from 2005. It’s rounded out by a deluxe 12-page booklet with photos from Gary’s personal collection and liner notes from Neil Tesser.
