Recorded in 1960 at The Village Vanguard, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Nat Hentoff.
Of all the recordings made by Gerry Mulligan's Concert Jazz Band in the 1960s, this is the definitive one. There are many high points, including "Body and Soul" (which has fine solos from the baritone/leader and valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer), "Come Rain or Come Shine," and the swinging "Let My People Be," but "Blueport" takes honors. On the latter, after hot solos by Mulligan, trombonist Willie Dennis, and Jim Reider on tenor, Mulligan and trumpeter Clark Terry have a lengthy trade-off that is quite hilarious with a countless number of quotes from different songs; at one point they trade off cities. This music is essential. ~ Scott Yanow

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)
Beyond superb! Gerry and his band lay down some fat sounds that by all rights, should increase the value of your speakers.
When this band is live it is on fire, great CD, one of the best.
Play tracks 1, 6 and 5 - any house will begin to jump and jive. Submitted by digitalengineer (Fair Oaks, CA, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
