  • Great tune, great playing, except for...the bass sounds like a big rubber band. Its all electric signal, you can't hear the real instrument, and the attack is defeated. Know what I mean? Set up to facilitate velocity, but sounds like shit. You can't hear the WOOD, the acoustic resonance. You can't contribute to the rhythm section that way - no propulsion - ya dig? Mulligan is the greatest, though. (sorry!)

  • Bill Mays, a great player, who was Sarah Vaughan's pianist, and is still very much on the scene with his own trio and in high demand with many of the top players. Check him out - lots of recordings available.

  • @johnnycchops - magnetic pickup. That sound's on purpose; it's a different tone than wood but imo it's still pretty damn fine, and swings no less than an acoustic.

  • Gerry has the greatest voice on the barytone, absolutely lovely!!

  • While Mulligan was a great player and improviser and a model for many others, I'm afraid that John Surman is the player who now deserves the title "greatest". He is in another class from Mulligan, although I have no doubt that Mulligan's achievements made possible the playing achievements of younger musos. Perhaps newer players, building on Surman's achievements, will one day be called 'greatest'. It's a moveable feast.

  • Gerry never let's me down. He's a joy to hear.Man, can he play that bari!!

  • Gerry Mulligan was the greatest baritione saxophonist ever. No one's been able to touch him.  He was human though, as I just noticed. Notice at 1:39 while he's improvising he mistakenly thinks they're at the bridge in the changes for two beats before he catches himself and cleverly recovers and returns to the changes of the "A" section. He was brilliant.

  • It's kind of weird how I can't visually see him articulating.

    I personally don't like his style of playing as much as Pepper Adams.

    I think a Bari should be darker, not light and happy as Gerry makes it.

  • It's kind of weird how I can't visually see him articulating.

  • Baritone Saxophone. Nobody plays better than Gerry Mulligan. Great!

  • Baritone saxophone is SO awesome!

    great song! you can watch my one-man-band cover in my channel or in the video response, if you want!

  • Smooth ... beautiful lines everything good jazz should be. I love this approach.
