here is another FANTASTIC video of Gary Burton and Chick Corea, playing La Fiesta in Marciac.
Marciac is a town in the south west of France, there is over there a great Jazz Festival.

La Fiesta at Marciac

Hey tifoo, Thanks for posting this video. That was a pretty good rendition. That was the last concert of a long summer tour, and there was a lot of excitement in the air. Not only was Wynton Marsalis and his band there listening, but Pat Metheny and his trio came a day early to hear our concert (I'm proud to say that Pat is a big fan of the Chick/Gary duo). It was one of the best concerts of the tour, we thought, and I'm glad at least the video of this one tune is available for people to watch. it's still a little strange to watch myself play. It used to be strange to hear myself on recording, but I've kind of gotten used to that. Seeing myself playing is still weird. The first thing I noticed was that I look fat (I've lost 12 pounds in the last two months, so I'm working on that). I wish the camera didn't jump around so much. I wanted to see more of the mallets on the keys. It always looks more effortless than it feels when I'm playing. I guess I'm doing it right, though. Gary B.
