INTRODUCING THE NEW GARY BURTON QUARTET

GROUP SET TO MAKE THEIR NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT
AT BLUE NOTE, OCTOBER 19-24

The New Gary Burton Quartet, featuring guitarist Julian Lage, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Antonio Sanchez, is set to perform at Blue Note on October 19-24.

His quartets have featured a unique mix of established musicians while discovering and showcasing younger musicians, many of whom would soon become some of the world’s most recognizable artists. Musicians such as Larry Coryell, Jerry Hahn, Mick Goodrick, Pat Metheny, Tiger Okoshi, John Scofield, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and most recently Julian Lage, began their careers in Burton’s esteemed quartet.
