Gary Burton, Pat Metheny, Steve Swallow, and Antonio Sanchez, Quartet Live (Concord Jazz). A 2007 reunion date by three of the most influential jazz-rock instrumentalists of the post-Coltrane era, with Sanchez providing ideal support on drums. The tunes include Metheny’s “Midwestern Night’s Dream” and Swallow’s “Falling Grace” and the playing is exquisite. Excellent liner notes by all four musicians. Need I say more? (TT)
