The greatest vibe player ever, Gary Burton, with piano genius, Makoto Ozone. Live at Montreaux. Check out his book. It was so interesting. www.amazon.com/...
I saw Gary Burton and Dave Grusin live together in concert. It was awesome. And I had no idea who Makoto Ozone was until now, but that man is a monster!
You are so wrong dude. Listen to this 100 more times. Makoto smokes a Burton in pretty much every way on this You're over here focused on the amount of O's in his name. Stupid.
I remember Ozone as a student at Berklee and that man can SWING. He can do Oscar Peterson better than Oscar himself. He's really amazing and can do anything.
its crazy how people are going nuts about a pretty well defined musical fact. Latin 8ths are played straight. go listen to songs like one note samba and night in Tunisia. i figured my posting of my previous comment would merely merit comments saying DUH! but apparently some of you didn't know that. well i hope i helped. (also, gary burton is pretty awesome)
Not if it's designed the way Berklee Online is, being interactive, extremely informative, very well-structured, and just as personal as Facebook. So it's all in the time & effort supplied by the student. I get to e-mail him personally whenever I want, & you don't so HAH!!
Most of these comments make me sad, as they have little to do with music, art, or communication and have more to with who's better than whom, more advanced, more or less "modern," etc. Who gives a crap? Either it works or it doesn't. I love so much of the music that people call "jazz," but I swear jazz fans can just be the absolute worst. Looking for competition? Watch the world cup or something.
@livegigs,,thanks, also nice of him to comp for Cal. On RU-vid,check these two out;from [pianinfan] Yukari Inoue Trio "Minor Swing" and from[ [FranklyJazz] Paul Horn "We Three Kings of Orient Are". This is a truly great arrmt. of Mongo's much loved tune Afro Blue". I notice 690 likes & 8 dislikes,of 193,732 views,,that's wonderful. Consider some sympathy for the 8. There are no days awakening I do not thank God for leading me to the sound I was listening for.
try Berklee College of Music in Boston, Burton used to teach there, but if you take classes with Dave Samuels or Jerry Tachoir or Ed Saindon, you'll learn the same technique. Good luck...
i think that if there wold come a day when i wold see Gary Burton in person...that's the wold be the day when i think that my death cold come at peace.
@qwackfartz Lou's mind was blown by the Makoto's impressive run at 3:35. He didn't want to get into some stupid argument about who was superior. Everybody on this page is above that except for you. I play four mallets on vibraphone, marimba, etc., but TEN fingers could easily counter that argument. They are both fantastic musicians who play at an amazingly high level. Don't ruin that for those who want to contribute to a real conversation.
Good points... I do wish it was more personal, but it as personal as telecommunication gets, & keep in mind the price difference. Tuition at Berklee is $25,000 with around 15 credits... You can do 15 credits online with the same teachers, and even go in personally... for $7,000 all together ... is going in worth that extra $18,000?
Es muy buena esta versión, a mi me gusta muchisimo, no me canso de oirla. Very good perfomance, i love it so much!! i can listen it for ever and ever :-D
@BarakaObama2012 I think all of this is a reaction to the notes at the top describing Burton as the greatest vibraphone player ever. That kind of statement is bound to cause some negative reactions, no matter how great he is, you cannot simply overlook Milt Jackson like that.
