I had almost forgotten how beautiful this tune is. I haven't heard it in at least 30 years but it sounds as gorgeous and fresh now as it did then. I must have this.
I hate reactions that say something about the amount of likes or dislikes. But this vid has 134 likes, and not a single dislike. That's has got to mean something.
this is the soundtrack of my life. glad it's here. my CD reissue of this album(which i also have on vinyl) has this tune as a bonus track w/ Gerry playing bass clarinet- brilliant version of this stunning tune!! thanks for posting this!
this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. I love Gerry Mulligan. Not just as a baritone sax player but also as a composer. The west coast guys are so great. The vibe they send through their music is what life should be. Beautiful, laid back, and relaxing.
This song is so lovely that I was inspired to write lyrics to it (among my better set of lyrics in fact). It was first performed in Pasadena, 2004 with the Steve Wilkerson Quartet + singer Andrea Baker at the dreamy lyrics I penned...I'm glad I had the show taped! Some day I hope to post it on youtube.
There's also a second version of this song on the album with Gerry playing clarinet and there's also a ten piece string orchestra and an acoustic guitar added on it.
@foggy4180 That's the second take of this beautiful tune on this particular album if I am correct! Check out Gerry Mulligan's Night Lights album! I hope to get it on cd one day.
The Starry Nights painting adds a beautiful touch with this song. Now, imagine with me that you are in a beautiful lounge setting. Lights dimmed just right, beautiful mellow jazz playing low in the backround. With only a couple of people and the bartender there is a comfortable seat just for you and a nice glass of bourbon or wine. Relax...and think of nothing but, this moment.
Peaceful with myself! Thanks for post!

This is a real dream team and Mulligan is the MVP, of course! His baritone sax is marvelous. A true MASTER!

Just a rare gem of a tune. The mood it creates is unlike anything I've heard in jazz! And the solos are as close to perfection as it gets.
