Divime and definitive. I miss both so much... So beautiful and intense as to be even painful...

WONDERFUL and definitive.. Supreme partneship between an alto and a baritone sax, and w/o a piano to supply then chords!!!! Amazing!

I started listening to Paul while still a teenager. Always one of my favorite players! Gerry too! I remember reading somewhere that Paul wanted to embody the sound of a dry martini! Now that I'm older, I think he does! 8-)

Like soothing water down a mountain stream, these jazz sax giants, Mulligan and Desmond, flow through the difficult chord changes of All the Things You Are with complete ease. A gift to the listener's ears and mind.

Love the beginning of this, where they just play the root and the 4th back and forth!

When i listen to this i can shut my eyes and the sun comes out and i don't have a care in the world! :-)

Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about! I used to study listening to these guys—for me it was simply the Best Mind Opener...Thanks for sharing this.

Could anyone else scoot along like paul Desmond does for most of this - cool, pushing ever so slightly, exact, blue. Gerry Mulligan was truly the spirit of that instrument; as always a bopping, cool, fascinating cruise with him and then the two of them for the rest. Thanks for that. Paul Desmond is a giant alto sax player.

Great brings back old memories when jazz was really easy listening....
