Biography Gary Burton
Gary Burton (b. January 23 1943, Anderson, Indiana) is an American jazz
vibraphonist and composer.
Having been self-taught on the vibraphone, Burton developed a style of
four-mallet chording as an alternative to the usual two-mallets. This
approach caused Burton to be heralded as an innovator and his sound and
technique were widely imitated.
Burton is notable as one of very few openly gay musicians in jazz history,
and has stated that his coming out in his 40s had no adverse consequences
for his career as he had feared.Antone, Richard (August 30, 2005), [LINK:
