If there is a single word that describes a typical Gary Burton/Makoto Ozone concert, it would be virtuosity. The duo improvises on just about any kind of music, from traditional and contemporary jazz, to tango and classical themes. Both musicians are stunning performers, always pushing each other to new and greater heights.


Vibraphonist, composer, and educator Gary Burton '62 '89H is a living legend in the jazz world, a 2016 NEA Jazz Master, and the recipient of seven Grammy awards. He is known as an innovator for his pioneering vibraphone technique and as a bandleader with his groundbreaking ensembles. 2017 marks an important year for this legendary jazz artist, as Burton has announced that he is retiring from his career as a touring musician after finishing his current U.S. tour and a tour of Japan.


Berklee alumnus Makoto Ozone B.M. '83 is the absolute star of the jazz scene in Japan and is a prolific composer and arranger, having composed music for more than two dozen albums. In the past decade he has become a frequent guest soloist with orchestras in Japan and Europe, and is a regular guest soloist with the New York Philharmonic and the San Francisco Symphony.
