Duet is the second album by vibraphone–piano duo Gary Burton and Chick Corea, recorded over three days in October 1978 and released by ECM Records in May of the following year.[2]
The title track, "La Fiesta", was originally recorded by Corea with his quintet for Sometime Ago – La Fiesta, the working title for Return to Forever (1972), which gave birth to the pioneering jazz fusion band of the same name.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This subtle set finds Burton and Corea consistently inspiring each other through melodic and very spontaneous improvising. Well worth a close listen".[3]
DownBeat assigned the album 4 stars.[4] Reviewer Sam Freedman wrote, "Duet is a beautiful collection of meditations, captured as though in crystal by ECM’s technicians".[4]
