GARY BURTON, PAT METHENY, STEVE SWALLOW, ANTONIO SANCHEZ Quartet Live (2009 UK 11-track CD album - Comprising a revisited edition of the classic Gary Burton Quartet, featuring three original members and jazz legends Burton, Pat Metheny and Steve Swallow along with one new member, and perhaps one of the most prominent drummers of his generation, Antonio Sanchez. The special challenge for a jazz reunion is to achieve something more than simply playing the old material, and 'Quartet Live' fully realizes this, taking the music into new territory. 'We have all continued to evolve as players, so we play the songs in fresh ways now. We've all become better improvisers, too. But, more importantly, though we have each gone on to new ventures, when we got back together again the rapport that always came so easily is still front and center. This has been the most fun I've had in a very long time,' says Burton. The album was recorded while on tour at Yoshi's Jazz Club in Oakland, CA. Burton says, 'Without a doubt, the level of the group was at an all-time high that weekend. At Yoshi's, everything just clicked.')
