Larry Bunker Quartette featuring Gary Burton - Live at Shelly's Manne-Hole (1963) {Vault–EMG remastered, rel 2011}

The versatile West Coast jazz drummer, vibraphonist and percussionist Larry Bunker is featured here leading an amazing quartet featuring world renowned vibraphonist Gary Burton; Mike Wofford (piano) and Bob West (bass); recorded live in 1967 at the famous West Coast jazz club, Shelly's Manne-Hole, founded by the legendary jazz drummer Shelly Manne, featuring compositions by Mike Gibbs, Cole Porter, Phil Woods, Jerome Kern and others. All selections newly remastered.

Any live Gary Burton from the sixties is worthwhile, and this one from Shelly's Manne Hole with Bill Evans' drummer Larry Bunker is no exception. They even get into the Evans' repertoire a bit… sounds almost like the Evans Trio with Burton subbing for Bill, which would actually please some people.
