Biography
Gary Burton is an American jazz vibraphonist from Anderson, Indiana, who pioneered the four-mallet Burton grip and a pianistic approach to the vibraphone.

His duets with *Chick Corea* won Grammy Awards, and he taught at Berklee College of Music for three decades before retiring from performance in 2017.
