Our Take

GERRY MULLIGAN & PAUL DESMOND - Complete Studio Sessions

In the jazz world, names don’t get much bigger than Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond. So when these two legends came together for a complete studio session, the anticipation was palpable. And let me tell you, folks, they did not disappoint.

From the moment the smooth, velvety tones of Mulligan’s saxophone meet Desmond’s cool, calculated clarinet, you know you’re in for a treat. The chemistry between these two is undeniable, and it shines through in every note they play.

The album kicks off with a jazzy rendition of “All the Things You Are,” setting the tone for what’s to come. From there, we’re treated to a mix of originals and classics, each one showcasing Mulligan and Desmond’s unparalleled talent.

Tracks like “Blight of the Fumble Bee” and “Line for Lions” are instant classics, while their take on “Stardust” is nothing short of breathtaking. It’s clear that these two giants of jazz are at the top of their game, and their music speaks for itself.

Overall, the Gerry Mulligan & Paul Desmond Complete Studio Sessions is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. So pour yourself a glass of scotch, put on your best smoking jacket, and let these two musical maestros take you on a journey through the golden age of jazz. You won’t regret it. Sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you. Cheers to Mulligan and Desmond.
