#music, Gerry Mulligan for the Middle of the Week Song…

One of the masters of West Coast Jazz, or «Cool Jazz» is Gerry Mulligan, North American saxophonist. This New Yorker born in 1927 was also a clarinettist, a composer and an arranger. But he shines predominantly with his baritone sax. He worked wit Stan Kenton and Miles Davis, among others. He played with Chet Baker in a piano-less group considered one of the coolest of the «cool» groups. Mulligan died in 1996 from complications from knee surgery. He was 68 years old.

This time the song becomes many as I truly believe that to get to feel the soul of Gerry Mulligan you have to hear more than just one song. So here are many for you to delight in. And then you tell me what you think.

Cheers…
