Vibraphonist Gary Burton’s debut as a leader shows that he was a brilliant player from the start of his career. Utilizing a sparse trio that also includes bassist Gene Cherico and drummer Joe Morello, Burton even at this early stage sounds quite original and unlike his predecessors (Lionel Hampton, Red Norvo and Milt Jackson). Highlights of the CD (a straight reissue of the original Lp) include “Joy Spring,” “You Stepped Out Of A Dream” and Burton’s original “Our Waltz.” This boppish set is easily recommended.
