"There should not be any shadow of doubt about the professionalism and worriment by the continuous improving of Chick Corea. As a matter of fact he recorded one of the most interesting versions of Mozart's Kv. 466 as long as I remember. On the other hand, the untiring activity with musicians of the level of Pat Metheny, John Patitucci, Dave Wieckl, Bobby Mc Ferrin fits admirably with the curriculum vitae of Gary Burton who shared honors with Miles Davis, Stan Getz and Astor Piazzolla. So, since 1971 this successful combination has allowed him to be acknowledged around so many exigent jazz audiences around the world.

Chick Corea (1941) and Gary Burton (1948) -once more- shook hands in this European tour, 1997 with an unforgettable recital. The most remarkable themes were "Bud Powell", "Four in one" , "Fiesta", "Duende", Bagatelle VI (In Bartok's memory) and "Tango."

A true collector item. Don't think it twice.

Tea for two

"Chick Corea and Gary Burton have been around the block more than once. But it wasn't mindless wandering that they have been doing. They have absorbed like a sponge influences from the jazz world and incorporated them into there original styles. Chick shines on piano and Gary on vibraphone. It is refreshing to witness their interplay with no interference from ego. The mutual respect between the two is obvious and refreshing. The music is thoughtful and tasteful and a joy to experience. It is long enough to whet your appetite and not too long to become tiresome. Like most jazz artists this disc is pricey by Amazon standards, but sometimes it is worth the minor financial sacrifice. This concert showcases them at their best and is recent enough not to be dated. Modern jazz can't pass by without hearing from Chick Corea and Gary Burton. The contributions from these two artists are to be appreciated fully. This disc is a relaxing journey from beginning to end. It is essential to any well-rounded collection."
