A visionary who shines both on record and on stage, George Burton is "a different beast" (The Washington Post). Burton's two full-length albums, The Truth Of What I Am > The Narcissist (2016), and Reciprocity (2020), were both received to international critical acclaim. His stunningly eclectic approach to jazz has been called both "formidable" (NPR) and "soulful" (Philadelphia Inquirer); his music "revolutionary" (Nextbop), "multidimensional" (Philadelphia Inquirer), "sublime" (NPR). In 2021, Reciprocity was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Jazz Instrumental Album; he received an award for Best Music Video ("Finding") from Festigious Film Festival in 2020; in 2022 the song "Finding" was a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition for Best Jazz Song.

For more than a decade, George Burton has been on the radar of everyone who keeps up with innovations in jazz. His dazzling virtuosity and breathtakingly eclectic approach to music reflect his experience in every aspect of the jazz spectrum: beginning with rigorous classical training, branching into his equally rigorous experience in the heady nightlife of the Philadelphia jazz scene, and earning him a place on the world stage with some of the most significant practitioners of bop, post-bop and beyond—from James Carter to Meshell Ndegeocello to the Sun Ra Arkestra—and has landed him on some of the most prestigious stages with his own groups as a leader, including the Newport Jazz Festival.

George lives in Brooklyn, NY, where he can usually be found just before shooting off to space with his Moogs, Rhodes, Wurly, and all manners of pedals and consoles, thanks to sound provided by his Mogami cables.
