Our Take

The Gerry Mulligan Quartet's latest reissue of their iconic album featuring Chet Baker on light red/white splatter vinyl is like a warm hug on a cold day. The smooth, cool tones of Mulligan's baritone saxophone paired with Baker's velvet trumpet solos create a timeless jazz experience that is as comforting as a cup of tea on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Mulligan, known for his innovative arrangements and lyrical playing, shines on tracks like "My Funny Valentine" and "Freeway." His interplay with Baker is nothing short of magical, with their musical chemistry elevating each track to new heights. The rhythm section, consisting of bassist Carson Smith and drummer Larry Bunker, provides the perfect foundation for Mulligan and Baker to work their magic, creating a cohesive sound that is both effortless and engaging.

The light red/white splatter vinyl adds a touch of nostalgia to the listening experience, transporting you back to a time when jazz was king and the Mulligan/Baker partnership reigned supreme. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or just looking for some good music to relax to, this reissue is a must-have for your collection. So pour yourself a drink, dim the lights, and let the Gerry Mulligan Quartet take you on a musical journey that is both soothing and exhilarating. Cheers to Mulligan, Baker, and the eternal magic of jazz.
