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."
ps. I had previously been searching YT for decent trombone-playing, and now I have discovered this double whammy! Win-win. Thanks again.
