Five-time GRAMMY award-winner, jazz vibraphonist Gary Burton is the host of the new weekly Sirius Satellite Radio music program, Artist's Choice with Gary Burton, on Pure Jazz (Sirius Channel 72), every Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm ET.

Burton, who emerged as a major jazz talent during the 1960s, brings a storied career and a unique perspective to Sirius jazz listeners. A self-taught vibraphonist with a unique four-mallet technique, he made his recording debut with country artist Hank Garland at age 17, performed with jazz greats George Shearing and Stan Getz, and, with guitarist Larry Coryell, formed one of the early jazz fusion groups in 1967.

Oh, and it?s Gary?s birthday today to boot. Crazy.
