Gary Burton • Passengers

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Guitarist Pat Metheny was a member of vibraphonist Gary Burton's group from 1974-1976, but although he had recorded with Burton twice previously, both of those dates also included guitarist Mick Goodrick. This particular set puts more of a focus on Metheny in a quintet that includes drummer Danny Gottlieb and both Steve Swallow and Eberhard Weber on bass. Metheny contributed three of the six selections, which are joined by a song apiece from Swallow, Weber, and Chick Corea ("Sea Journey"). Although none of the individual songs caught on, the attractive sound of the post-bop unit and an opportunity to hear Pat Metheny in his formative period make this an LP worth exploring.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El guitarrista Pat Metheny fue miembro del grupo del vibrafonista Gary Burton entre 1974 y 1976, pero aunque ya había grabado con Burton en dos ocasiones anteriores, en ambas también participó el guitarrista Mick Goodrick. Esta grabación se centra más en Metheny en un quinteto que incluye al batería Danny Gottlieb y a Steve Swallow y Eberhard Weber al bajo. Metheny contribuyó con tres de las seis selecciones, a las que se une una canción de Swallow, Weber y Chick Corea («Sea Journey»). Aunque ninguna de las canciones individuales se hizo popular, el atractivo sonido de la unidad post-bop y la oportunidad de escuchar a Pat Metheny en su periodo de formación hacen de este un LP que merece la pena explorar.
