Description: In 1961, teenage vibraphonist Gary Burton stepped onto the quiet corner of Gramercy Park East and East 21st Street, looking more like a shy student than the “new vibe man” poised to redraw the boundaries of jazz. The cover of *New Vibe Man in Town* frames him against the dignified brownstones and ironwork of Gramercy, that genteel calm hinting at how modern and cool the music inside would sound against the city’s bustle. Standing here today, you can almost hear the bright chime of his mallets echo off the stone façades, as if the neighborhood itself were an impromptu recording booth. This is one of the atmospheric stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
