...adds up to strange jazz, and the strangest thing of all is that the Gary Burton Quartet makes it work brilliantly. The four-Vibraharpist Burton, 25, Guitarist Larry Coryell, 24, Bassist Steve Swallow, 27, and Drummer Bob Moses, 20-have been together only since July. Already they have caught on not only with hard-core jazz buffs in clubs from New York to Los Angeles but also with rock-oriented youngsters on college campuses and in San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium.

He likes to remember one of the few pieces of advice his father gave him: "In this business, the competition will bite you if you keep running; if you stand still, they will swallow you." Bunkie Knudsen has been mostly running ever since the day in 1927 when his father announced that he could have a new Chevrolet if he would stop by the plant.
