Gerry Mulligan Quartet - Volume 2

Review by Michael Sonntag

The Gerry Mulligan Quartet's second album, aptly titled Volume 2, showcases the group's exceptional musicianship and innovative approach to jazz. Released in 1953, the album features Mulligan on the baritone saxophone, Chet Baker on trumpet, Bob Whitlock on bass, and Chico Hamilton on drums.

From the opening track "My Funny Valentine," the quartet's signature sound is on full display. Mulligan's smooth and soulful saxophone playing blends seamlessly with Baker's melodic trumpet lines, while Whitlock and Hamilton provide a steady and dynamic rhythm section. Other standout tracks include "Jeru," "Darn That Dream," and "Motel."

Comments

A certified hood classic.
I have never liked the sax; it always sounds (imo) so raucous, as though a goose had broken into the studio. However ... (before I start getting flamed ?) I have just discovered Gerry Mulligan ... and he is so mellow. I like it! Together with Bob on trombone, it is most pleasant. TY for posting.
ps. I had previously been searching YT for decent trombone-playing, and now I have discovered this double whammy! Win-win. Thanks again.
I first heard Gerry Mulligan when I was stationed at HQBF Steamer Point Aden. Some London boys had many modern jazz records, which I loved. Those same ones were with me when we were in the bay where a shark attack happened. I recall Dave Macey, David Hatt, David Drew, and myself, were having a break, noticed a girl 30 or so yards away splashing water over her companion. She was almost waist high in the sea. We left as it was getting near dinner time. Half way up the hill, stopping for a smoke, looking back at the sea, saw it was red. Later heard that the girl had been killed by a shark. She was none other but the Commanding Officers wife. She was only nineteen.
Huh, didn't know tracking was this easy! Piano Train 5:04, Lost in the Stars 11:19, I Believe in You 17:15, Love in New Orleans 21:55, I Know, Don't Know How 27:40.
Thanks so much for the album, my dad had it. I'm confused about the listed times of the tracks though - Lost in the Stars starts at about 11:28 (?)
good swing !
Thanks Steven for the introduction to Gerry Mulligan Quartet. Smooth and good feeling jazz sound for me. I liked it!
I love the Mulligan, Brookmeyer sound. Nothing like it. Thanks for the good old sound!
Thank you very much
These two (Gerry and Bob) bought the house-down in Paris in 1954. “The Paris Concert” was among the first LP’s i bought. I was smitten with this cool-style jazz originating from an exotic West-Coast, California. Nice light swingin’ happy sounding jazzy music, folks. G’day & Cheers!
