Gary Burton & Keith Jarrett is an album by vibraphonist Gary Burton and pianist Keith Jarrett with guitarist Sam Brown, bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Bill Goodwin, recorded in 1970 and released on the Atlantic label in 1971. Jarrett also plays soprano saxophone on this recording.

Reception

The AlMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4.5 stars and stated:”This combination works. Vibraphonist Gary Burton and pianist Keith Jarrett (along with guitarist Sam Brown, bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer Bill Goodwin) play four Jarrett originals plus Steve Swallow’s “Como en Vietnam.” Elements of pop music, rock, country, and the jazz avant-garde are used in the mixture of styles and the results are quite logical.”
