Gerry Mulligan is an ABSOLUTE BEAST! mad respect as a bari sax player.

[@VolvoImpala]

This group was simply incredible. I have this whole set on two CDs and nearly all the performances are definitive. I'm talking "Cell Block F", ESPECIALLY "Sue's Changes", and "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat." Only "Devil Blues" fails to outdo an incredible studio version and this song has a rendition that competes with it because it was done by Mingus's legendary 1964 Sextet. And that's because Eric Dolphy was the greatest jazz musician who ever walked the face of the earth.

[@rasheedaljawar5315]

Lived hard? He struggled with drugs and alcohol his whole adult life. Didn't stop his playing arranging,or composing though.

На мой взгляд Рыжий Джерри (Маллиган) был самым выдающимся баритоном в истории джаза XX века; тема "Езжайте поездом класса А", посвященная открытию новой ветки метро в Нью Йорке в 1939г. тому подтверждение. Спасибо за память о гиганте джаза...

I like pepper and smulyan the most

[@danjv]

Pepper Adams was a great player. I met him a few years back in a club called Gulliver's in W. Patterson NJ. He told me some cool stories about his early career. We first heard Pepper on some older Mingus sessions. There are so many great players it's up to each of us to decide who's best to ourselves.
