Gary Burton is celebrating his 82nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.
Popular musician Gary Burton (Duet, A Genuine Tong Funeral, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 82nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Burton, a cultural icon
Born in Anderson on January 23, 1943, Gary Burton's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Burton's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Gary hasn't done.
