All four played incredible solos and were very tight as a group. Antonio was incredible as always. Julian was given a long solo that was very unique. Burton didn’t steal the spotlight and gave everyone solo space and some trio stuff when he didn’t play.

naut Oct 11 2013 at 1:44 PM	Just started the memoir, hman. Good read so far. I liked his first meeting with Miles: "Thanks, kid." hehe Will try to finish it during the next week or so. I’m a slow reader sometimes.
naut Sep 19 2013 at 12:05 PM	Glad to hear that, hman. I haven’t got it yet, but hope to before the snow flies!
hman01 Sep 19 2013 at 10:46 AM	I’m in the middle of reading Learning to Listen,Burton’s autobiography.What a fun and interesting read !
hman01 Aug 15 2013 at 9:05 AM	Thanks for the info "naut"!
naut Aug 14 2013 at 4:13 PM	@hman01 - Yes. It’s called "Learning to Listen," and A-zon says it’s due out Sept. 3. @patsfan - I was only teasing akakak about his handle. ;) I hope Gary tours west of the Rockies with this band. His website only lists venues east of the Big Wall. (There’s a vid or two of this band at youboob.)

Guitarist Julian Lage’s playing has matured so much. The improvisations on this album are incredible. Even Gary sounds energized and his playing is fantastic. The album has Steve Colley on bass and Antonio Sanchez on drums. If you have not picked this up yet I recommend it strongly.
fredsimon Aug 13 2013 at 3:22 PM	Can’t wait to hear it ... heard this quartet live last year and it’s one of Gary’s best bands ever.
john Aug 13 2013 at 3:45 AM	This is a terrific recording. I caught them live a while back with Antonio Sanchez on drums showing what a superb sideman he can be and Scott Colley on bass. But the real star is Julian Lage - a stunning guitarist. No one fills this role better and this should be great performance. Cheers John
patsfan Aug 12 2013 at 11:53 PM	Who in the hell wants to listen to a cat coughing up a furball ??? Seriously, Gary Burton is always at the top of my list. Wish I were in Boston.
djbinder Aug 12 2013 at 5:08 PM	Tremendous record - second with the same group. I hope to be writing my review sometime in the next week. It’s a monster!
HAMBONE Aug 12 2013 at 3:00 PM	Agreed. It’s another step up from the Comon Ground cd which was tremendous in it’s on right. Can’t wait to see them in Philly in Oct.
hman01 Aug 12 2013 at 8:45 AM	"naut"-Did you say an autobio? That should be really interesting!
naut Aug 11 2013 at 10:47 AM	You got that right, akakak (no slight intended, but that sounds like a cat coughing up a furball ;Þ ). Love this record. Julian’s amazing, as are Gary and the rest of the band. Don’t forget: Gary’s autobio comes out early next month.
