Education Spotlight: Gary Burton - Soloing on Ballads

Vibraphone virtuoso Gary Burton is no stranger to innovation. On his way to winning six Grammy awards, Gary pioneered the four-mallet technique, started the jazz fusion movement and has most recently developed a 12-week online Jazz Improvisation course with Berkleemusic, the online continuing education division of the Berklee College of Music.
This in-depth course, which is derived directly from the popular improvisation course Gary taught at Berklee for over a decade, delves into the world of melodic development, navigating harmonic progressions, improvisational soloing and much more.
Gary will be releasing a free video lesson from his course weekly for the next several weeks. For more free lesson videos, and information on Gary's course, visit www.berkleemusic.com/landing/...

Gary Burton did a clam once 😮…in 1970, one note in a fast Arpeggio - during practice.

Man.... I just want to sit down with Gary and his vibraphone and just have him make a bunch of windows sound and arpeggios.
