An album-of-the-year in US magazine High Fidelity and recipient of a 5-star review in Down Beat, Towner and Burton's Matchbook stands up today as a timeless instance of the art of the duo, its vibrant spontaneity still alluring. The wide-ranging repertoire includes Ralph Towner's classic tune "Icarus", Charles Mingus's farewell to Lester Young, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", and Leonard Bernstein's "Some Other Time" ("a meticulously plotted melody that spurs some of the record's loveliest interaction" - Down Beat).
Ralph Towner: classical and 12-string guitars
Gary Burton: vibraharp
