Gerry Mulligan: Three Videos
Let's end the week with three more terrific Gerry Mulligan videos that only recently went up on YouTube: Here's Gerry Mulligan and Ben Webster on the Dinah Shore Show in 1962... Here's Shore singing with Mulligan and Webster. A shame they didn't record an album that evening... And here's Mulligan conducting and soloing with ...
Mulligan, Brubeck & Desmond
Let's stick with baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan today. Yesterday, I came across a terrific video of All the Things You Are by the Dave Brubeck Trio in 1971 at the Newport Jazz Festival featuring Mulligan and alto saxophonist Paul Desmond. Of course, Desmond had been a key member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet from the early ...
Gerry Mulligan: Jeru
One of the loveliest small-group jazz albums of the early 1960s was Gerry Mulligan's Jeru. Recorded in June 1962 for Columbia, Jeru featured the swinging baritone saxophonist at his tenderest. Produced by the session's drummer, Dave Bailey, a close friend of Mulligan, the album focuses heavily on mid-tempo ballads. Mulligan is backed by a traditional rhythm ...

Roberto Bonati: Macbeth and the Whale
by Duncan Heining
Italian bassist-composer Robert Bonati is one of the most ambitious and literate composers in contemporary jazz. Between 2000-2006, he released four ground-breaking extended works with the ParmaFrontiere Orchestra. While they attracted notice in Italy, they seemed to pass by the wider jazz audience in Europe, North America and the Far East. If at one level, the ...
Co-Improvisation: Explaining the Magic
by Victor L. Schermer
When we listen to great jazz performances, we pay most attention to the soloists, some of whom become our musical heroes. In that respect, jazz is an affirmation of the individual, the uniqueness and liberation of either the “free and joyful spirit," of whom there was none greater than Louis Armstrong, or the arduous struggle of ...
John Clark: The Odd Couple Quintet +1
by Angelo Leonardi
John Clark ha acquisito notorietà negli anni settanta, quando fu tra i principali strumentisti dell'orchestra di Gil Evans. Si sa che l'arrangiatore canadese aveva un debole per il corno francese e non se ne privò al varo della big-band “elettrica." Con John Clark lo strumento è uscito dal ruolo di strumento occasionale che aveva avuto ...
