Gary Burton and the New Gary Burton Quartet showcase the new rock stars of the jazz world: the astounding wunderkind guitarist, Julian Lage; Pat Metheny’s favorite drummer, Antonio Sanchez; and up-and-coming bassist, Scott Colley. This Quartet meets “On Common Ground” to present a new project of the same name. With interesting time signatures, lyrical and buoyant new tunes and some hot arrangements of standards like “My Funny Valentine”, Gary says that this group really clicks. They’ve quickly become a hot ticket in New York and, according to Gary, “[are] proving to be one of the standout bands of my career.” MCG Jazz is so excited to see Gary Burton and band and celebrate Gary’s 70th birthday.
