 | Gerry Mulligan: Jeru (CD: Proper, 4 CDs)
Gerry Mulligan was one of the most versatile figures in modern jazz. A musician who made his original reputation as an arranger and composer of big band scores that were characterized by intricate inner parts, careful balancing of timbres, low dynamics and light swing. The fact that Mulligan was the world’s leading baritone saxophonist, who made his own, various stylistic contributions to jazz development, never interfered with his curiosity about other musicians and his enjoyment of adventuring with them. Mulligan was generous with his talent and hungry to play. He frequently turned up at jam sessions and recorded with numerous peers from all generations, from Jack Teagarden, Art Hodges and Pete Johnson to Duke Ellington, Teddy Wilson and Billie Holiday. From Johnny Hodges, Ben Webster and Lionel Hampton to Stan Getz, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie and Astor Piazolla. From Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young to Clark Terry, Hampton Hawes and Charlie Parker. Mulligan played with everyone. He once stated : "They were nice people. I was lucky. That’s what I wanted - to have the opportunity to play with those people and be accepted by them as a musician and a friend". He knew the greats and became one himself. (Proper Records)

Gerry Mulligan: Meets Johnny Hodges (CD: Verve LPR)
Gerry Mulligan's studio adventures with his fellow saxophonists always produced memorable results, and his 1959 meeting with Johnny Hodges was one of the best. Together, the fleet-fingered baritonist and the sweet-toned altoist produced what Down Beat aptly called "casual, unostentatious music that belongs irrevocably to the past, present, and future of jazz."

Gerry Mulligan Quartet: Dream A Little Dream (CD: Telarc Jazz)
In the world of jazz, there's no baritone saxophonist who matches the lyricism and flowing deep tones of Gerry Mulligan. Here he reaches into his bag of lush jazz standards, sprinkles them with "cool" dust, and makes a strong statement for straight-ahead jazz, a la West Coast style. No bari player today is creating jazz with such matchless lyricism and flowing, deep tones as Mulligan. With an acoustic quartet, the jazzmaster fashions Dream a Little Dream into a genuinely elegant session of fourteen contemplative standards and original compositions. (Telarc Jazz)
