Our Take

Ah, the Gerry Mulligan Quartet featuring Chet Baker - a match made in jazz heaven, or should I say, jazz London fog? This reissue on transparent red vinyl gives us a glimpse into the magic of these two legends coming together in perfect harmony.

The album kicks off with Mulligan's smooth baritone saxophone setting the scene, only to be joined by Baker's distinctive trumpet melodies that snake through the air like a hypnotic jazz snake (if there is such a thing). The interplay between these two giants is nothing short of breathtaking, as they effortlessly weave in and out of each other's musical phrases with a chemistry that can only come from years of collaboration.

Tracks like "My Funny Valentine" and "Swinghouse" showcase the quartet's ability to switch seamlessly from intimate ballads to swinging jazz numbers, leaving the listener in a blissful state of musical limbo. Mulligan's masterful compositions paired with Baker's soulful trumpet riffs create a sonic landscape that is both familiar and refreshing, like a cup of Earl Grey tea with a twist of lemon.

Overall, the Gerry Mulligan Quartet featuring Chet Baker is a timeless gem that deserves a spot in every jazz lover's collection. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite libation, and let these jazz virtuosos transport you to a world where the music never stops and the good times never end. Cheers to that, old chap!
