Description
Contrast is a new recording which features a wide variety of musical styles and composers. For years I have enjoyed the challenge of being involved in a variety of musical environments. This recording is an attempt to bring some of those elements (jazz, solo and chamber music) together into one place. Featuring the music of David Burge, Miles Davis, Tadd Dameron, Guo Wen-Jing, John Lewis and Rusty Burge.

"The vibraphone sings like never before on Contrast. Rusty's touch produces a montage of beautiful lines and thoughts that flow effortlessly across the instrument. He recreates the scope and possibilities of the vibraphone with each carefully performed nuance. Contrast is a landmark recording that champions a new era for vibraphone." Tom Miller - steel pan artist
"Rusty Burge's cd Contrast is a wonderful exploration of the different musical worlds that the vibraphone can enhance." Dave Samuels - vibraphone artist
"Mallet artist Rusty Burge is a complete musician. He covers vibes and marimba on a wide range of material from twentieth century avant garde to jazz standards. Highly recommended." Dick Sisto - vibraphone artist
