| | Gerry Mulligan Meets Scott Hamilton: Soft Lights & Sweet Music CD - Import Gerry Mulligan Discography of CDs
The legendary baritone saxophone player Gerry Mulligan and tenor player Scott Hamilton are heard here in a relaxed setting on a set recorded in the mid 1980s. Including five Mulligan originals, this set showcases both players' mastery of sophisticated, cool jazz soloing.
Starting in the late '50s, Gerry Mulligan recorded a series of encounters with fellow saxophonists that included such immortals as Stan Getz, Paul Desmond, Johnny Hodges, and Ben Webster. In 1986 he resumed the practice for this one date on which his baritone is matched with the tenor of the young great Scott Hamilton. The music, which includes warm ballads and fairly hot romps (five of the seven songs are Mulligan originals), consistently swing and are quite enjoyable. ~ Scott Yanow

Subtitled "A Pythagorean Theory Tale," Stevens' follow-up to the relatively conventional BUDDHA AND THE CHOCOLATE BOX is a semi-concept album with a sort of science fiction theme. The songs are set on the faraway planet Polygor, which "existed to give numbers to the universe," and they are sung from the point of prominent inhabitants of the planet, including the wise and deep-thinking old Novim ("Novim's Nightmare") and cranky emperor Monad ("Monad's Anthem"). The story line isn't easy to follow, but the songs themselves are in Steven's signature folkie pop mode, and the one non-story song, "Banapple Gas" (a distant relative of Donovan's "Mellow Yellow") is as catchy as anything in his catalogue.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Reissue producer: Bill Levenson.
Personnel: Cat Stevens (vocals, guitar, 12-string guitar, piano, grand piano, electric piano, keyboards, synthesizer); Alun Davies (vocals, guitar, 12-string guitar, 12-string bass); ...
