Our Take

Jazz aficionados, gather round and feast your ears on the latest box set from the legendary Gerry Mulligan. "Four Classic Albums" features some of Mulligan's finest work, including standout collaborations with jazz greats Johnny Hodges and Ben Webster.

First up, we have "Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges," a meeting of minds that results in some truly sublime music. Mulligan's cool, melodic saxophone meshes perfectly with Hodges' soulful, bluesy clarinet, creating a vibe that is both sophisticated and deeply groovy.

Next on the menu is "What Is There To Say?," an album that showcases Mulligan's masterful arranging skills. The interplay between Mulligan's baritone saxophone and the rest of the ensemble is simply exquisite, with each note perfectly placed and dripping with emotion.

Moving on to "Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster," we are treated to a meeting of two titans of the jazz world. Webster's breathy, velvety tone contrasts beautifully with Mulligan's smooth, airy saxophone, creating a dynamic that is both playful and profound.

And finally, we have "Gerry Mulligan Quartet At Storyville," a live recording that captures Mulligan and his quartet at the peak of their powers. The energy and creativity on display here is truly infectious, with each musician pushing the boundaries of their craft and creating something truly special. Overall, "Four Classic Albums" is a must-have for any jazz fan looking to expand their collection. So grab a copy, pour yourself a drink, and let the magic of Gerry Mulligan sweep you away.
