[LadyVeVe97]

so good!!!

[bennoonm]

Amazing, the best i've ever heard… I need the notes

[ZurabMelua]

@bennoonm pretty sure it is in one of the real books

[bennoonm]

@ZurabMelua Thanks

indeed, but the reaal book's notes are not gerry Mulligan's performance

[ZurabMelua]

@bennoonm Transcribe it then

[fuzzball415]

@bennoonm There's a free audio program called "Audacity," and it allows you to record sounds (in this case songs) that would be played through your computer's speakers. It then allows you to slow down the tempo without changing the pitch. That would make it a whole lot easier to figure out by ear if you're having trouble.

[bennoonm]

@fuzzball415

Well, this is nice. You've helped me to get rid of the annoying mandolin (or so), bits which are part of some sax playbacks. the program gave me the option to separated the channels (right and left) and than to re-save it as mp3 format.

Many thanks…

[TTmaniax]

Sweet, my musical score of the day. Thumbs up and favorited!

[AZIMUTS52]

First time I heard this piece was back in 1969 in Cairo, Egypt. A close friend of mine, also a musician, introduced me to the most incredible jazz compilation I've ever listened to.

But without discographic reference (reel-to-reel tape), my only clues to retrace this compilation till today are: the melody, the arrangement and sometimes the name of the piece, period.

Today, I am fully rewarded as I just found out it's Gerry Mulligan playing this version - Listen to the piano too - MARVELLOUS

[kaferere]

@AZIMUTS52 What a great memory to have and to share. Gerry Mulligan and Cairo in '69. Doesn't get more magical than that.

[atropico]

un sogno

[Blackgeoff1]

.. from an album Gerry did when he said he just wanted to play some songs he liked the melodies of. If my memory serves me, on the album he played clarinet on Love Walked In..?

Someone once said of him that he plays like a man who loves life, loves people, and anyone who can't feel him must be dead. ..

Couldn't agree more...... Great posting - thanks for reminding me of an album I'll have to hunt down again....

[spadge1able]

my hero & favourite tune played with great feeling.clear as always gerry.tops.

[sassfantastic]

Stupefacente armonia e melodia, che solo Gerry sapeve creare.

[sassfantastic]

Stupefacente melodia ed armonia.

[helluvagun]

All of a sudden around 1:17 I think I see the great Lasse Gullin! Gullin and Mullligan were somewhat comparable and on par!

[ronaldmcdonald9141]

Simply amazing ... Music at its best...played by a real artist

[Fili2009able]

that sax talks to your heart ! I mean to my heart !

[terrryc]

I never understood why the Bari never got the respect of the Tenor and Alto. This is so beautiful that you have to wonder if it is being played by angels.....

[Lvarshamyan]

J'ADORE.......................­..........;

[JAZZOLOGIST1]

A unique and superb artist. He did much to change jazz in the 50's, and change other musicians too. One of the great talents in the history of jazz.

[roverjeep]

so moving! this is what music is all about!

[roverjeep]

just outstanding!

[JeanREMYLyon]

Sur ce tempo lent et syncopé, le timbre grave du baryton apporte à ce chant la fêlure qui lui fait parfois défaut dans d'autres interprêtations.

[bengtasonholm]

I miss you Gerry.

[bengtasonholm]

I miss you Gerry

[spadge1able]

wish you were still here gerry. smooth.

[drbovary]

ELICITS HEARTFUL TEARS OF SUBLIME GRATITUDE

[roccoprch1]

VERY COOL! I heard one of his last interviews on the radio, he was talking about his brief stay in jail, drugs,talking about the jail-chief (warden), calling him a "gestapo" type... etc.. It was such a great pleasure to hear such an interesting interview, very pleasant voice to hear, curious, intelligent mind behind. Besides his great music!

Peace!

[fessrat]

Just a truly great jazz rendition of a timely classic by Gerry Mulligan....fantastic....!!!!!

[ittidnev]

God has passed here. Thak you west coast!

[hggarlot]

Quelle mélancolie dans cette musique de jazz,et quel merveilleux arrangement ! Merci Gerry !

[Only4Russian]

Great memories!

[arhatyellow]

Gerry Mulligan, thank you. Que bella. What a tone. Stone cold best.

[sirtubbyhayes]

This is a fabulously moving arrangement and solo - outstanding

[123stella456stella]

Bellissimo!!!!!

[ton41]

unforgettable Gerry!!!!

[MrPetepohl1]

WONDERFUL ! Gerry was  in a class of his own thanks Pete uk

[WinstonsPapa]

One word for this Jazz Giant, Fabulous!

[mooaks1]

What a fantastic player. I was stationed in Puerto Rico in 1952. It was about that time that I purchased a 45 rpm set of the Gerry Mulligan Quartet. I believe it was the first for the quartet. I remember that it was on Fantasy label. The one tune from that recording that really got me hooked from that moment on with Gerry Mulligan was "the Carioca" Gerry's solo on that piece forever labeled him for me, the swingingest Bari on the planet. He only got better and better. Thanks for posting .

[Taberculat]

It's very splendid.

[franktheawaken]

For me It would have been difficult to imagine someone play a solo song with a baryton sax, but Gerry Mulligan plays this one perfectly. I listen to it over and over. Was the title of the album the first picture of the video?

[zieuzieu]

Vraiment magnifique ce sax baryton

Merci.

[27sepulchre]

Was the best, still the best

[peteboy1113]

what a nice relaxing song, its the kind i like to hear before i fly, or in the airport lounge before take off. one night in jfk airport i heard this song in this kind of format. it made the flight across the ocean so much more relaxing. i was on B A - going to london. thank you for playing this song.

[teazle2]

Hey Whatever ? This is the real McCoy. Lyrical, melodic, wonderful; interpretation of this old standard. Thanks roving eye for posting this classic. Brings back the fifties with a bang, when I discoverd Chet and Gerry. I totally agree with RovingEye that GM was the greatest Baritone sax of ANY era.

[mariluzmv52]

UNA DELICIA PARA SOÑAR!!

[florianaporta]

fantastica!!

[BuckshotLaFunke]

After so many years of listening I can sing along with all solo's of some Mulligan/Farmer tunes (Newport, News from Blueport, Just In Time, What Is There to Say). His playing on that big horn was often so vulnerable.

[JAZZOLOGIST1]

What a musical genius, this guy. sensitive, bellicose, sweet and haunting. Whatever flies your kite you'll get from this genuine giant of he jazz world.

[quagliagol100]

this performance gives me a big emotion!

[BennyMax37]

Bravo Mulligan, in this song. I playd bariton sax for 7 years(1968-74) in R&B music, fascineting winds

[johnbarn01]

Hi-Comparisons are odious!

Gerry is incomparable!He and his music helped me realise early in life that the melody is all.

The way he played it, was, and still is timeless.

Thank you Gerry!

John F.

[suprehe]

charlie parker and paul desmond.. that's like comparing apple and orange

[Chookiman]

Godam GOOD !!!!

[rf1308]

if wish he wasn't gone it would be so cool to meet him i play bari myself he is a true legend!

[AlexeiDQPumas]

Baritone sax taken to another dimension....

Great performance =)

[paciphish]

This is the way I like to hear Gerry Mulligan,my all time favorite. My first album was What is there to say,1959,I still play it. Thanks for posting this video.

[stillonline100]

thats the great thing about jazz, u can always change it up to make it sound a bit different but it also souds close to the original. u'll olmost never here the same version... - unknown

[cooljazzlady]

Superb, classic standard!!!

Hi cartiergl, V whatcha think?

[cartiergl]

such an awesome tune,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[perla51]

Unforgettable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! Perla.

[letsgo1015]

Unfortunately he is gone.

[califgirl101]

Wow! What a lovely, relaxing version of this wonderful song. By the way, check out the Night Lights album along with some audio samples it is beautiful! Now, I have a quick question. Does anyone know if Gerry Mulligan is still living or did he pass away some time ago? Please feel free to fill me in. I'm such a loyal fan for good classic jazz such as what I watched and listened to here! Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful video with us! Cheers my friend. :)

[deaconpc]

Mulligan died in Darien, Connecticut on January 20, 1996 at the age of 68 following complications from knee surgery. A blood clot I think. Sad, as he will never have a equal.

[myusernamewastaken]

I agree with the last part. But will can any jazz great be compared to each other? I love Gerry Mulligan and Bill Evans equally..but incomparable.

[saxman1919]

I understood it to be a staff infection. Either way a tradgedy. Best Bari saxist ever.

[ljliljohn]

I'm hip. My favorite by him is 'Polka Dots and moonbeams'. I have a copy of the first (ten inch) LP of the quartet. Thanks for keeping the jazz faith.

[luvpeacensoul]

freakin' awesome!!! i love this song so much. thanks for the upload.

[jarbon5]

Wow, this is so relaxing, so much so that it would be good music to listen to before one turns in for the evening. Love this mayne!!!

[peteboy1113]

@jarbon5 -the kind of song to fly at night across the ocean to listen too. so mellow and relaxing. better in first class or buss class, as for me ive always been a economy rat, oh well.

[zyruemusic]
