After three decades, vibraphonist Gary Burton reunited with Pat Metheny and Steve Swallow and added drummer Antonio Sanchez to record Quartet Live! (Concord Jazz, 2009), an album celebrating the music of the original Gary Burton Quartet. Originally conceived as a one-time-only performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival, the band quickly realized that the music was worth exploring again. Burton talks about the new quartet, his projects with Chick Corea and Makoto Ozone, and his semi-retirement.
