Gerry Mulligan - Mulligan Plays Mulligan (FLAC) torrent

Recorded August 27th 1951. This release 1999 on Original Jazz Classics.

Review by Scott Yanow:
Gerry Mulligan\'s first session as a leader and one of the first to showcase his baritone was recorded in New York shortly before he relocated to Los Angeles and formed his famous pianoless quartet with Chet Baker. There is a piano on this set (George Wallington) but Mulligan\'s writing (all seven selections are his) for a two-baritone nonet that also features trumpeter Nick Travis and tenor-saxophonist Allan Eager is already in his influential \"cool style\"; best-known among the originals is \"Bweebida Bwobbida.\" Two numbers on the CD reissue feature a smaller unit out of the group with \"Mulligan\'s Too\" being an extended workout for the leader and Eager.
