Gary Burton --
Good Vibes ...
new LP
reissue
Gary Burton hits a sweet electric funky sound here -- a great groove that really makes the album stand out from most of his other work!
The support Burton gets is a big reason for the greatness of the date -- as he's working in a group that includes Eric Gale on guitar, Richard Tee on piano and organ, Chuck Rainey on bass, and Bernard Purdie on drums.
The album's got a bit of trippiness to it -- kind of in the style of some of Herbie Mann's funky production work for the Vortex label -- and a few cuts have producer Joel Dorn working with Arif Mardin on the cuts, giving them a more expansive sound that pushes Burton's playing nicely. The vibes have a dark chromatic quality to them that sounds great next to the sweeter playing of the funky player -- and the record's filled with nice numbers like "Vibrafinger", "Las Vegas Tango", "Boston Marathon", and "Leroy The Magician".
