GARY BURTON/PAT METHENY/STEVE SWALLOW/ANTONIO QUARTET

摘要

A one-off reunion at the Montreal jazz festival in 2005 proved so successful that the group formed up and went on tour. Swallow had been in the original quartet in 1967 while Metheny had joined a later Burton group in 1974. For the new group, Metheny brought in Sanchez, his own drummer of several years. When the tour reached Yoshi's restaurant in San Francisco, the result was this wonderfully cohesive live recording, with sonics free of harsh edges or nasty imbalances, though Swallow's bass is sometimes furry and indistinct.
