Tracks list
Reissue with the latest remastering. Comes with liner notes. One of vibraphonist Gary Burtons most intriguing recordings, A Genuine Tong Funeral (Carla Bleys suite which musically depicts attitudes toward death) was called by its composer a Dark Opera Without Words. Burtons classic Quartet (which also includes guitarist Larry Coryell, bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Bob Moses) is augmented by six notable all-stars: soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy, trumpeter Mike Mantler, Gato Barbieri on tenor, trombonist Jimmy Knepper, Howard Johnson on tuba and baritone and Bley herself on piano and organ. The music is dramatic, occasionally a little humorous, and a superb showcase for Gary Burtons vibes. Tracks: 01. The Opening; Interlude: Shovels; The Survivors; Grave Train 02. Death Rolls 03. Morning, Part 1 04. Interlude: Lament; Intermission Music 05. Silent Spring 06. Fanfare; Mother of the Dead Man 07. Some Dirge 08. Morning, Part 2 09. The New Funeral March 10. The New National Anthem; The Survivors Personnel: Steve Lacy - soprano sax Leandro Gato Barbieri - tenor sax Jimmy Knepper - trombone Mike Mantler - trumpet Howard Johnson - tuba, baritone sax Larry Coryell - guitar Carla Bley - piano, organ, conductor Gary Burton - vibes Steve Swallow - bass Bob Moses - drums
