Gerry Mulligan - Line For Lyons 

You can notice how he is feeling the music after several years of playing the same tune over and over again. That’s precisely why Gerry is one of my all time favorites, he had an endless stream of creativity

What an excellent masterpiece of jazz!😊

Great player, great composer, great arranger, great talent and then some. Worked with him twice.

Gerry Mulligan-a shining galaxy in the baritone universe.

Baritone Saxophone. Nobody plays better than Gerry Mulligan. Great!

How come I've never heard (or heard of) this sensationally musical bass player ?

Smooth ... beautiful lines everything good jazz should be. I love this approach.

Great Mulligan ! Thanks

Que bello👏🌹🤗

Thanks for this great clip!

Hypnotising

As nice a reading of "Lyons" that you will ever hear....

I like Bill Mays on this. Love the way he slips in a quote from Monks Little Rootie Tootie.Mulligan is on inspired form as usual.

Wow, he looks so old

excellent

Thanks for featuring some of THE GREATS ! Talk about a little 'Silver Hair' experience to be so 'in the pocket' - As if they grew p together . . Oh wait - they did ? :) I'm learning so much from Folks like Pascal. Hey - Also one great drummer here !!

Gerry has the greatest voice on the barytone, absolutely lovely!!

Mulligan was a guy who really enjoyed playing -- and made that ever so clear in his music. If I recall correctly, he never got a five star rating in Downbeat. Go figure. Just compare this with the version done more than 30 years previously. Mike S.

I like the snarl sound much better than the boom boom from Bernies tune. The good amplification works so each bassnotes increase after the pluck. enjoyable for my aging ears.

I'm glad to know I was wrong, but he sure as hell deserved better (Downbeat published a listing of all their 4 and 5 star reviews and I didn't think he was in the 5 star category -- the Vanguard recording must have come after that reprise of what Downbeat considered worthwhile in jazz). He was and still is one of the finest composers, arrangers and musicians ever. I agree with your assessment of Little Big Horn which is pleasant but not memorable, and I certainly enjoy the Vanguard session.

Bonjour Pascal, je tombe par hasard sur cette vidéo. je suis Antoine, on a fait quelques boeufs ensemble quand je jouais du tenor dans le groupe de Joêl Guicciardi et Claude Frachet (jazzymodo), ça va bien? merci pour cette video de Mulligan Line for Lyons est un thème magnifique!

I thought I heard Rollins for a second

@archlordXd0 exactly, plus I think he was just a tad too cocky too lol. gotta love listening to a nice warm bari to take you away from playing one in a damn rock band!

너무좋아 치이미 나온댜 게리할부지 캡좋아 너무좋아 ᆢ 느그느글하시게 연주 잘하신다 개리할부지처럼 비밥의대가가 되구싶댜

personally I think Gerry's sound became more authoritative in his later years, which I like more. but of course this is just my opinion!

he played conn 12M But, I don´t know about his mpc...

I know Little Big Horn got 5 Stars (Which is funny because it's my least favourite Mulligan album). I'm pretty sure the concert jazz band Village Vanguard CD got 5 stars too. (a terrific album).

Baritone saxophone is SO awesome! great song! you can watch my one-man-band cover in my channel or in the video response, if you want!

ball sense Irish holy pretty daughter moreover supposed commander see.

Wash your ears and try to listen Johny no good !!!

I didn't like his early sound. It was too airy for me

Great tune, great playing, except for...the bass sounds like a big rubber band. Its all electric signal, you can't hear the real instrument, and the attack is defeated. Know what I mean? Set up to facilitate velocity, but sounds like shit. You can't hear the WOOD, the acoustic resonance. You can't contribute to the rhythm section that way - no propulsion - ya dig? Mulligan is the greatest, though. (sorry!)

Poor bass playing.
