This is a wonderful video of a very young Gary Burton performing a solo piece. I think it's an original composition of Gary's. I'm sure he'll watch the video and comment here on it.
What was amazing to me is besides the haunting beauty of this piece was his technical facility at performing a rubato flowing piece like this. I think the dampening is incredible. Check it all the dampening he's doing with his palm.

p.s. I forgot to give credit to John Daly who caught the video on tv and quickly recorded it knowing it would be valuable to the site.
Dana talks about a Mexican Marimba, how it's made and how to hold 3 sticks in one hand.
This is to go along with Dana's Video. See above for the link to the video.
