Metheny-Burton Masterpiece Reunion
4 out of 5 stars

To truly grasp Gary Burton's artistry, one must delve into Pat Metheny's work. Conversely, appreciating Pat Metheny's music fully involves recognizing Burton's impact on him. This album marks their first studio collaboration in 13 years. For Metheny enthusiasts, it stands among his finest works. The tracks are intricately composed, boasting lush melodies and an '80s rhythm section featuring studio legends Will Lee, Erskine, and Forman (not George). The overall vibe is moody yet cool, reminiscent of the ECM-era sound both artists mastered. Even the faster pieces exude a laid-back feel. My top picks are "Reunion" and "The Chief". The recording and mixing are superb, likely a digital master given its release year. This pressing is excellent. Highly recommended.
