| | 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

Gerry Mulligan Meets Scott Hamilton: Soft Lights & Sweet Music
$15.05
Unlike Bobby Hutcherson's previous super mellow effort For Sentimental Reasons, this recording is charged with increased energy and vitality, inspired by the music of John Coltrane. Hutcherson plays the part of Coltrane's tenor and soprano sax with his vibraphone quite tastefully, while guitarist Anthony Wilson adds a new chordal dimension to the music far different than a woodwind instrument. Pianist Joe Gilman is perfectly matched with his bandmates, a supple, inventive, yet forceful musician who lends great depth to the background, or in tandem with the lead instruments. California drummer and longtime confrère of Hutcherson Eddie Marshall plays as well as ever, while bassist Glenn Richman is the much lesser known but able fifth wheel. The leader is as familiar as anyone with this music, being a survivor of the turbulent '60s jazz scene, where he was ...

Gerry Mulligan Meets Scott Hamilton: Soft Lights & Sweet Music
$8.89
Principally recorded on June 19-20, 1980. Includes liner notes by George Winston.
AUTUMN was superstar new age pianist George Winston's first album to sell more than 1,000,000 copies. Listening to these spare, emotionally rich pieces, it's easy to understand why. But it's also clear what sets Winston apart from the hordes of other new age piano soloists: an insistent--occasionally ...

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 ...

Gerry Mulligan Meets Scott Hamilton: Soft Lights & Sweet Music
$12.39
For a band that has released dozens of albums, an eight-song compilation really isn't sufficient as either a best-of or an introductory sampler, though the 73-minute running time is a good value for a single CD. A bigger problem with this anthology is that it offers a very thin slice of Tangerine Dream's whole tangerine, with a track apiece from their first four albums in the early '70s and four other tracks from later phases of their career. The worst ...
