![]() | CRYSTAL SILENCE Corea & Burton Shine on Initial Collaboration A fine addition to any music lover’s Chick Corea collection or jazz library, this 1979 album by Corea and vibraphonist Gary Burton – the first of several collaborations – helped establish the viability of a modern chamber approach to jazz. Corea's relaxed, seamless use of jazz, folk, and Latin forms, together with classical complexity and rigor, blend nicely with Burton’s gifted mallet work, making for an especially enjoyable affair. A must listen...a must have! | |

“...Corea, with ringing, appropriately crystalline tone and careful modulation, often soars, often frolics, but never descends to banality. Burton, with his usual extraordinary four-mallet expansiveness, acts as both musical prompt and magnifier. The timbres and tones of piano and vibes are complementary, as are the sympathies of two surpassing players.” Buy Now $14.99 | ||
