Product Description

Description

One of the most beautiful jazz discs of the 1970s remains CRYSTAL SILENCE, a 1972 collection of inspired, melodious duets by vibraphonist Gary Burton and pianist Chick Corea. In 2007, the two masters revisited their earlier triumph with the two-disc THE NEW CRYSTAL SILENCE. Disc one finds the duo in an orchestral setting, recorded live in Australia with theSydney Symphony Orchestra. While performing with a full orchestra might seem to defeat the purpose of a duet, it works out remarkably well. Since the `60s, both Burton and Corea have been crossover/fusion experts, and the subtle, well-thought-out arrangements accent the duo's playing, never competing with or overwhelming it. Disc two is just the two fellowsswinging some Corea gems and a few standards. The pianist'sbebop-flavored jabs dart happily through and around Burton's sparkling, crystalline lyricism. This is lovely stuff throughout--witty and heartfelt, creative yet accessible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrible title, wonderful music, 2 Jan 2009
By William Burn "gingerburn" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The original "Crystal Silence" disc was recorded in 1979 and, although the "Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD" awards it 3 stars (a very commendable rating), it seems to have passed into obscurity without much protest. This new disc is much more substantial, though, and offers a very satisfying listen. The album has grown to cover two discs, but they are very different entities, the first presenting Corea and Burton in concert with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the second allowing the two men the freedom of just their own company of solo piano and vibraphone.

Some reviewers have expressed a marked dislike for the orchestral arrangements on disc 1, but Tim Garland (known to many in the UK as an excellent saxophonist) has crafted some extraordinary music here. The writing is intelligent, sophisticated and never schmaltzy, and Corea and Burton respond with energy and imagination. On the duo disc they are of course able to take more liberties, but it should not be seen as the "jazzier" of the two discs. It is a different project, and the men play differently.

In all, this is a substantial, very enjoyable album that you would be well advised to add to your collection.
