Gerry Mulligan "The Shadow Of Your Smile" (1965)

Gerald Joseph "Gerry" Mulligan (April 6, 1927 January 20, 1996)

The most famous and probably greatest jazz baritonist of all time, Gerry Mulligan was a giant. A flexible soloist who was always ready to jam with anyone from Dixielanders to the most advanced boppers, Mulligan brought a somewhat revolutionary light sound to his potentially awkward and brutal horn and played with the speed and dexterity of an altoist.

Mulligan started on the piano before learning clarinet and the various saxophones. His initial reputation was as an arranger.

.. 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....
