Never-issued material from baritone sax genius Gerry Mulligan – recorded live in Rome in the early 90s, and one of the strongest demonstrations of Gerry's power at the time! The format is lean – just piano from Harold Danko, bass from Dean Johnson, and drums from Ron Vincent – and tunes are long, and nearly all original compositions by Mulligan – who pushes all these amazing colors and tones throughout the set – almost painterly in the way he approaches the sound, but always swinging too – at that level he first brought to his music when he wasn't recording with a piano, getting even more bite here with Danko's great work on the keys. The whole thing is wonderful – some of Mulligan's best material from the later years – and titles include "Curtains", "Lonesome Boulevard", "Out Back Of The Barn", "Walkin Shoes", "Sun On Stairs", and "A Gift For Dizzy". © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
