Duster – The Gary Burton Quartet – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Released in 1967, ‘Duster’ by The Gary Burton Quartet marks a pivotal moment in jazz history. Often cited as a forerunner of jazz fusion, this album finds vibraphonist Gary Burton joined by the innovative Larry Coryell on guitar, Steve Swallow on bass, and Roy Haynes on drums. Together, they blur the boundaries between jazz improvisation and the rhythmic drive of rock, creating a sound that was remarkably forward-thinking for its time. The interplay between Burton’s shimmering vibraphone and Coryell’s electric guitar is nothing short of revelatory. Tracks like ‘Ballet’ and ‘General Mojo’s Well Laid Plan’ pulse with restless creativity, while quieter moments reveal subtle, searching lyricism. ‘Duster’ isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s a document of artistic risk-taking and genre-defying collaboration. For listeners who crave music that challenges conventions and rewards deep listening, this album is essential. Its influence echoes through decades of boundary-pushing jazz, making it a must-own for collectors who appreciate the crossroads where innovation and musicianship meet. Adding ‘Duster’ to your shelf means owning a piece of jazz’s most adventurous era.
