Crystal Silence

by: Gary Burton, Chick Corea

Release Date July 01, 1988
I have had an old, old copy of this album in my collection (on vinyl) for ages and have recently had to purchase it on CD as my old copy has so many crackles, you cannot hear the silence. This is one of those little masterpieces that creeps up on you. The title tack is wonderful and has, I think, one of the best Corea solos on record. Everything, however, is understated - no awesome RTF pianistics here! These two blokes are really listening to each other and you get the impression that they like each other. The pieces are like a two way conversation between friends of similar opinions and likes and dislikes (the purcussive style of Corea on piano fits well with Burton's very light, swinging style on vibes). This album will not be to everyone's ... Read More:

Fluid Rustle

by: Eberhard Weber, Norma Winstone, Gary Burton, Bill Frisell

Release Date July 01, 1988
The blending of Voices(Norma Winstone and Bonnie Herman) Vibe/Marimba (Gary Burton), Guitar (Bill Frissel) and Eberhard Weber's "Special Bass" is really magical here.

The tones are so blended that when I used to play this on my old vinyl LP it sometimes suffered from lack of separation,particularly when there was even very small amunts of dust/fluff in the needle (today's youngsters won't know what I'm talking about here.)

This is a fine album, this voices offer backing tones and washes of sound that complement the other musicians in a way that is unique for a Eberhard Weber album.

This man is a genius and peerless musician. He comes out of the ECM stable of modern European jazz but it ain't jazz as many understand ... Read More:
