Our Take

Ah, the timeless collision of saxophone titans - Gerry Mulligan and Ben Webster - in this legendary 1959 recording, now remastered by Acoustic Sounds for your listening pleasure.

From the moment Mulligan's cool, velvety baritone saxophone meets Webster's rich, soulful tenor saxophone on the opening track "Chelsea Bridge," you know you're in for a treat. These two jazz giants play off each other with effortless ease, trading solos like old friends catching up over a pint at the pub.

Tracks like "What Is This Thing Called Love" showcase Mulligan's quirky, playful style, while Webster's smooth, emotive playing on "The Cat Walk" will have you swaying in your seat. The chemistry between these two musicians is palpable, each note blending seamlessly into the next.

The standout track has to be "Sunday," a slow-burning ballad that allows Mulligan and Webster to stretch out and truly shine. Their interplay is like a musical conversation, each taking turns to speak their piece before coming together in perfect harmony.

Overall, Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster is a timeless classic that deserves a place in every jazz lover's collection. Acoustic Sounds has done a fantastic job remastering this gem, bringing out the warmth and intimacy of the original recording. So sit back, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let Mulligan and Webster take you on a journey through the golden age of jazz. Cheers!
