Our Take

GERRY MULLIGAN's "Spring Is Sprung" is a joyous romp through the whimsical world of jazz. With contagious energy and playful melodies, this album is like a breath of fresh air on a sunny day in the English countryside.

From the first note of "Breezin' Along with the Breeze," Mulligan's iconic baritone saxophone takes center stage, weaving its way through intricate arrangements with ease. The swinging rhythm section keeps things moving along at a brisk pace, while the bright brass adds an extra layer of sunshine to the mix.

Tracks like "April in Paris" and "It Might As Well Be Spring" capture the essence of the season perfectly, with their lush harmonies and lilting melodies. Mulligan's improvisational skills shine on these tracks, as he effortlessly navigates complex chord changes and intricate melodic lines.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Spring Is Sprung." The album's darker moments, like the brooding "Maybe September," add a touch of mystery and melancholy to the mix. Mulligan's masterful storytelling abilities are on full display here, as he takes the listener on a journey through the changing seasons of life.

Overall, "Spring Is Sprung" is a delightful listen that is sure to put a spring in your step. With its infectious melodies, expert musicianship, and soulful storytelling, this album is a must-have for jazz fans old and new. So grab a glass of Pimm's, sit back, and let Gerry Mulligan's music transport you to a sunny afternoon in the English countryside.
