Before I say anything about this album one of Burton's poorest selling albums ever , let me just say that even in this day and age I thought the chances of ever seeing this album on CD in the U.

As you can see these musicians are some of the best in their genres. Burton was influenced by Dylan's "Blonde On Blonde" album that had recently been released which gave him the idea of a country-jazz type of album.

This is a Japanese edition complete with outer edge paper slip , and the notes are in Japanese except for song titles, but the back of the booklet has a repro of the original vinyl album notes in English, written by Burton which are enlightening. The sound is very good--clean with a slight warmth and openness with no harsh digital feel.

The arrangements do a good job of incorporating both jazz and country musics into a different sounding blend. But "Tennessee Firebird" may still come as a shock. This is Burton's most country sounding album of his career--a sound that he would gradually leave behind as he ventured closer to jazz--especially when he recorded for the ECM label--with a much cooler overall sound.

This is a chance to hear Burton very early when country music was still greatly influencing him. And for fans like me of his early albums especially this is worth adding to your Burton spot on your music shelf.

Never again would Burton incorporate so much country music into his sound, and it's enlightening to hear him trying to do do. One of my small once-again-available album prayers has been answered. And if you want to know more about Burton and his music and jazz in general as he experienced it check out his autobiography "Learning To Listen". Showing 0 comments.

Predating the jazz-rock fusion [4] craze of the s, the group's first album, Duster, combined jazz, country , and rock. However, some of Burton's previous albums notably Tennessee Firebird and Time Machine , both from had already shown his inclination toward such experimentation.

Burton was named Down Beat magazine's Jazzman of the Year in the youngest to receive that title and won his first Grammy Award in The following year Burton began a forty-year collaboration with pianist Chick Corea , [6] recognized for popularizing the format of jazz duet performance. Their eight albums won Grammy Awards in , , , , , and Burton is known for his variation of traditional four-mallet grip which has come to be known as "Burton Grip," and is very popular among jazz vibraphonists as well as some concert marimbists, including Pius Cheung and Evelyn Glennie.
