Gerry has certainly owned this tune since it's introduction. But original credit has to go to the composer, Bernie Miller. Without his ideas put on paper, there would be no 'Bernie's Tune'
Interesting listening to 1952 album version and this... more bebop influence, more fluidity. Live cuts are so much better (then again, also he was playing the tune for 28 years by 1980!). Great sound, great solo composition.
Amazing, no one like him. His sound is what all bari players look up to but can never achieve. Yet it inspires us to keep playing, to remember him. This is not really Bernie's Tune, this definitely Gerry's Tune.
Yeap, Gerry is the best baritone.

Mulligan inspired me to take up the bari when I was in high school. Loved it! SO did the girls. LOL
