Our Take

Ah, the Gerry Mulligan Tentet and Quartet – a classic jazz album that slaps harder than a drummer with a vendetta! This gem from the legendary Gerry Mulligan is a must-listen for any music aficionado looking to expand their palette.

From the first note to the last, Mulligan and his band of merry musos take us on a whirlwind journey through the swinging world of jazz. Each track is a masterclass in musicality, with Mulligan's smooth saxophone skills front and centre, backed by a tight-knit ensemble that grooves like nobody's business.

The Tentet and Quartet truly shine on tracks like "Out of Nowhere" and "Darn That Dream," where Mulligan's playful melodies dance around the room like a jazz-infused tornado. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, with each solo and riff blending seamlessly into the next, creating a sonic tapestry that's as rich and vibrant as a Picasso painting.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this album – oh no! Mulligan throws in a few twists and turns to keep us on our toes, with unexpected key changes and tempo shifts that'll leave you breathless and begging for more.

In conclusion, the Gerry Mulligan Tentet and Quartet is a triumph of jazz music that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. So grab a glass of your finest scotch, dim the lights, and let Mulligan's smooth sounds wash over you like a warm bath on a cold winter's night. You won't regret it. Cheers, old chaps!
