Our Take

Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond's "Blues In Time" (Limited Edition) is a delightful romp through the world of jazz, blending together the smooth tones of Mulligan's baritone saxophone with Desmond's velvety alto sax. It's like a musical hug from two old friends who just happen to be virtuosos on their respective instruments.

From the moment the album kicks off with the toe-tapping "Blues In Time", you'll find yourself transported to a smoky jazz club, sipping on a cocktail and nodding along to the infectious rhythms. Mulligan and Desmond have an effortless chemistry that is evident in every note they play, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel like you're part of the gig.

Tracks like "Standstill" and "Line for Lyons" showcase the duo's impeccable musicality, with each solo weaving effortlessly into the next. Mulligan's rich, deep tones complement Desmond's airy, light melodies in a way that is truly magical. It's the kind of album that you'll want to put on repeat, letting the music wash over you like a gentle wave.

Overall, "Blues In Time" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. Mulligan and Desmond's impeccable musicianship, combined with their playful sense of humour and love for the genre, make this album a joy to listen to from start to finish. So grab yourself a drink, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey through the world of jazz. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
