Free Music Notes for Duster
Free Music Review: Amazingly listenable.
Hit: 5 Stars
The album is a must for jazz enthusiasts, and also compatible with the conservative ears of folks in the easy-listening crowd. There are no thorny Coltranesque sequences. There are no lengthy "blowing sessions." Some of the pieces are quick paced, but not as driving and insistent as a typical be-bop piece. Gary Burton's music is adventuresome, but it will not alienate listeners who have unadventuresome ears.
BALLET starts with a short, jerking episode. The jerking episode is like the shifting of gears, shifting up, shifting down. The guitar vamps behind the vibes. There there is a stunning guitar solo. Larry Coryell's guitar playing sounds like Howard Roberts' playing. Bass solo. The piece ends with the same jerking sequence, reminding one of an industrial robot. FIVE STARS.
SWEET RAIN is slow, containing undulating waves of vibrophonic pastels. If Debussy had written jazz, it would have sounded like SWEET RAIN. The guitar solo is slow enough for any beginner to learn. FOUR STARS.
PORTSMOUTH is quick-paced. The tune is an excellent one and an original. The guitar vamps behind the vibes. Drum solo. The initial tune is repeated. FIVE STARS.
GENERAL MOJO is moderate paced, with Nashville overtones. Larry Coryell appears to be emulating a Nashville steel guitar. Bass solo. FOUR STARS.
ONE, TWO, 1, 2, 3, 4. is fast and starts with a guitar solo. Larry Coryell then urges feedback from the amplifier, invoking the rock'n'roll genre. The guitar solo then becomes a little silly. It consists in strings of fast notes, going up, going down, that any beginner with a couple of years' experience can put together. Vibe solo. TWO STARS.
SING ME SOFTLY is slow, staring with a guitar tune. The guitar tune is comprises of little, jabbing tunelets. Vibe solo. Then comes a swaying, swinging episode. The initial tune is repeated. FOUR STARS.
LITURGY is moderate paced. It sounds like normal, typical jazz, perhaps what one might expect from the combination of Milt Jackson and Joe Pass. FOUR STARS.
RESPONSE is another slow piece. It blankets the listener with sheets of bell-like sounds. This piece is like SWEET RAIN. THREE STARS.
I saw the Gary Burton Quartet in 1968, where Gary Burton opened for a little known folk-trio called "Cream." The show was at the Fillmore in San Francisco. Shortly thereafter, I bought the vinyl version of this album. Since that time, I have seen about 30 jazz performances at Yoshi's in Oakland, CA, Keystone Korner in San Francisco, CA, and elsewhere. The high point of my life was seeing Sonny Stitt's group perform, for an entire evening, inside a corner tavern somewhere in Milwaukee, WI, in early 1981. Would that I could live that evening all over again.
