Sounding as fresh today as it did in 1973, Seven Songs places the Gary Burton Quartet in an
orchestral context, with compositions of Michael Gibbs – inspired by Messiaen and Charles Ives
as well as Miles and Gil Evans – and exceptional soloing by Mick Goodrick, Steve Swallow and
Burton himself. The production is exemplary: Seven Songs set a new standard for recordings of
orchestral jazz.
