4 years ago on September 22, 2020 (in the first year of the Pandemic), UNT Percussion initiated our 10 Questions Plus Series with jazz vibraphone virtuoso Gary Burton. To surprise Gary, I invited Chick Corea to pop into the conversation. The result was priceless! This conversation was just a few months before Chick’s passing. At the time, we did not know (Gary included) that Chick was ill.

Gary’s answers to the UNT percussion students’ questions are wonderful. Enjoy!
