70th Birthday Concert

Join this seven-time Grammy® award-winning jazz vibraphonist backed by his new quartet in a joyful birthday celebration. Touted as the innovative musical giant that “makes jazz one of the gifts from God” (Jazz Weekly), Gary Burton is internationally recognized for his iconic jazz-rock sound and prodigious 50-plus-year career. With Julian Lage on guitar, Antonio Sanchez on drums and Scott Colley on bass, Burton will celebrate what he does best—“dazzling, virtuosic, and fresh” concerts that leave audiences in an uproar (New York Times).
