Gary Burton - The New Quartet - ECM Luminessence Series LP

As well as being the great vibes innovator of the era, Gary Burton has been a most astute talent scout. In 1973, The New Quartet introduced Abraham Laboriel: this was the first recording of the bassist who would shortly become one of the most in-demand session players across all genres. Guitarist Mick Goodrick also emerged as a player to watch with this album, shining in a well-conceived program with compositions of Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Carla Bley, Mike Gibbs and bandleader Burton.
