SUBJECT:	The New Gary Burton Quartet in Philly Back to Subjects

I’d already seen Antonio several times now with Pat and Gary and Scott Colley when they toured with Pat a few years ago. But it was my first chance to see Julian Lage and I was very impressed. Hard to believe he’s been playing with Gary since he was 12. Hope they continue to record and tour again.

I am trying to see as many bands or musicians from the Downbeat Critics Poll list from 2012 & 2013. So far I am tracking very well. Many shows coming up that will help the end result. Mehliana (Brad Mehldau and Mark Guiliana) was a very pleasant surprise and great show. Brad was playing piano and electronic keyboards and Mark is an incredible drummer who sounds like nobody else. Will post here at the end of the year with my final tally.

MarcNebo Oct 07 2013 at 10:58 PM	I saw the quartet on Tuesday night. They were incredible. Very tight band sound with an all-star band. I saw them two years ago and this time they were even better. So far one of the best shows for the year (50+ bands). Julian played an amazing solo and Antonio blew me away. Scott Colley was rock solid with his solos or playing in tandem with Antonio. Gary was also incredible. He gave everybody a lot of solo space.
