Good Mulligan Intro.......2003-10-18

I just bought this on a whim at a national book chain as it was on sale. Overall, I'd say it's a decent intro to earlier Gerry Mulligan. Festive Minor and North Atlantic Run were the two cuts I enjoyed most. This is not the very top of Mulligan's form - this CD has a mixed bag of accompaniment, all competent but not consistent regulars with him, I don't think. The Rose Room cut has hints of a Dixieland treatment in places, seemed a little different than the other cuts. Overall I'd classify the pieces as mellow yet up-tempo, which Mulligan carries off fairly well. The recording seemed a little flat to me, but this may vary depending on your system. In a vacuum, I'd rate this three to three and a half stars - the price I paid made it a good buy, hence one more star for value. (It was about in the middle of the prices from the sellers on Amazon.) Overall: good, mellow straight-ahead Fifties jazz.

Get It.......2001-04-11

The one tune that stands out on this cd is 'North Atlantic Run' a true jazz classic and from my view the best Mulligan effort ever put on wax.The other cuts are great fare, but NAR is in a class by itself.
