Product Description
CD Description
AVID Jazz here presents three classic Gerry Mulligan albums recorded in 1957, including original LP liner notes plus extra material live from the Newport Festival on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD. 'Mulligan Meets Monk' there is only one way to describe this classic LP and that is to borrow the words from the original liner notes written by legendary producer Orrin Keepknews. 'This is one of those once in a lifetime meetings of giants... a rare meeting of major facets and major figures of jazz. It is... intriguing and provocative... in all probability a significant document, a piece of jazz history... but surely there has never been a more enjoyable historic occasion than... when Mulligan met Monk'. We at AVID will certainly drink to that! 'Gerry Mulligan Meets Stan Getz'... Another meeting of giants and again we must hand over to yet another legendary producer Norman Granz who was best placed to describe the meeting! 'Obviously each is a master of his instrument... Stan picked the rhythm section with Gerry's approval... as an added fillip Mulligan suggested that they trade horns... so on side one Getz plays baritone and Mulligan tenor and on side two each plays his primary instrument'. We present here the Mono version of the LP as we feel it presents a more natural and intimate sound quality. 'Gerry Mulligan & Paul Desmond Quartet'... Well we're on a roll so lets hand over to another legend Nat Hentoff to describe our next meeting of giants! 'The idea for this multi linear playground has been bottled... in Paul Desmond's mind since 1954 when Gerry Milligan sat in with the Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall... results convinced both Desmond and Mulligan that their ways of speaking music had what Gerry terms 'a natural affinity'. Nat continues... Both... are quite pleased with this session... Desmond's explanation of his enjoyment in working with Mulligan is succinctly clear... 'He just does all the right things'. Take a listen and we think you will agree! Extra bonus material includes Gerry Mulligan recorded live at Newport with the his own Quartet featuring Bob Brookmeyer, the Marian McPartland Trio, the Teddy Wilson Trio and Duke Ellington & his Orchestra. All three albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest ever sound quality!

what more do you want? three all time greats from the fifties and sixties jazz scene. anyone with sufficient interest to be reading this review will not need me to tell them how influential these three great musicians were. suffice to say that these three albums cover virtually all their best work. not only that but you get them on one convenient disc at a giveaway price. snap one up if you love true jazz from way back then, and if you don't, it's a very cheap way just to have a listen and see if this fantastic music changes your mind.

Most of these albums came out when I was a destitute teenager well into modern jazz. I could not afford LPs at 37s/6d as this was a substantial part of my weeks wages at that time. I realise what I was missing and this collection of albums allows me to relive the possible moments I would have had if money constraints didn't have their hold. I already have the Mulligan - Desmond album but is was great to hear for the first time Mulligan meets Monk. Most enjoyable and though later Mulligan may appeal to a different ear, essentially this music is timeless and a great pleasure to listen to.

The music is great & you can listen to it, but there's something amiss with the mastering on all tracks...it sounds very odd, like it's out-of-phase and the treble has been cut. The same EQ has been applied all the way through. I haven't heard any of the original LP's, but surely they couldn't have sounded like this.
