Gary Burton & Keith Jarrett/Throb

Over 70 minutes of jazz-rock that unravels more with each listen. you actually get two albums on this version - the 1970 collab between Gary and Keith filled with lengthier jams of Jarrett's like "Grow Your Own" and a great version of Steve Swallow's "Como en Vietnam". The other album "Throb" was recorded a year earlier and features Jerry Hahn on guitar and Richard Green on Violin. Frequently heard on the show are Michael Gibbs "Triple Portrait" and Steve Swallow's "Doin' the Pig".
