Gerry Mulligan - Moonlight In Vermont - 1959

this is great! i love the sam cooke version as well

i think part of gerry's interest in the pianoless quartet is that being the consumate arranger and prolific writer of jazz music that he was he heard all the parts he wanted in his head all the time and without a piano he had more opportunity to express exactly what he wanted to hear in his band

Where can I find a full score to this for a jazz ensemble?

I see race: the human race. And I love it!

Hey prezels39 I got one album that is pretty close to your request of jazz greats for your road tour. It includes Gerry Mulligan-Bari. Paul Desmond-Alto,Dave Brubeck-Piano,Jack Six-Bass,Alan Dawson-Drums. The name of the album is called We're All Together Again For The Very First Time.

all jazz is good...it's just that some is better, but all people who make jazz happen are saints in my book. they are writing new music exactly the moment we are hearing it. wow...just brilliant. i would love to put the following jazz greats together for a tour. imagine: mulligan-baritone, getz- tenor, paul desmond-alto, rosolino-trombone, brookmeyer- trombone, jack sheldon, farmer and maynard-trump, ray brown-bass, steve gadd-drums, gene harris-piano. whoa...lets go!!!

As far as I can tell, Jazz is the alteration and improvement of European musical forms by African inventiveness. However, a lot of White musicians contributed their gifts, too. Can i have my Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology now? I want to be able to teach at the collegiate level and boff admiring co-eds at will....

Music doesn't belong to anyone.

Fully agree! Music is its own realm, not to be sociologized about!
