A 1978 leader album by Gary Burton, the vibraphonist active since the early 1960s and renowned for his many outstanding recordings on ECM. Recorded in New York with a quartet featuring Steve Swallow (b), Roy Haynes (dr), and Tiger Okoshi (tp). Highlights include A3, where a supple, swinging rhythm section supports Okoshi’s soaring trumpet and Burton’s warm, fluid vibraphone tones, and B4, with its lightly percussive groove and subtly oriental-flavored melodies. Throughout, the album showcases Burton’s signature smooth, rounded touch and delivers a refined set of urban contemporary jazz with a gentle, modern sophistication.
A3: Careful
B4: Como en Vietnam
