Gerry Mulligan - Supreme Jazz (2006)

Title: Gerry Mulligan – Supreme Jazz (2006)
Genre: Jazz
Format: MCH SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

The most famous and probably greatest jazz baritonist of all time, Gerry Mulligan was a giant. A flexible soloist who was always ready to jam with anyone from Dixielanders to the most advanced boppers, Mulligan brought a somewhat revolutionary light sound to his potentially awkward and brutal horn and played with the speed and dexterity of an altoist.

Gerry Mulligan Meets Scott Hamilton - Soft Lights & Sweet Music (1986) [MFSL 2006]

Title: Gerry Mulligan Meets Scott Hamilton – Soft Lights & Sweet Music (1986) [MFSL 2006]
Genre: Jazz
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Starting in the late ’50s, Gerry Mulligan recorded a series of encounters with fellow saxophonists that included such immortals as Stan Getz, Paul Desmond, Johnny Hodges and Ben Webster. In 1986 he resumed the practice for this one date on which his baritone is matched with the tenor of the young great Scott Hamilton. The music, which includes warm ballads and fairly hot romps (five of the seven songs are Mulligan originals), consistently swing and are quite enjoyable.
