In the early 60's (from 1960 to about late 62') Gerry Mulligan and Bob Brookmeyer co-led one of the finest and most innovative big bands in Jazz history! Besides Mulligan and Brookmeyer as writters, you had Johnny Mandel and George Russell, Gary McFarland, Al Cohn, even Art Farmer. The soloists represent the best Jazz has ever offered. Perhaps the finest Gerry Mulligan ever recorded, Bob Brookmeyer as well. But the trumpet solos include the underated Don Ferrara, the world class CLARKE TERRY, and CONTE CONDOLI! Nick Travis is featured as Lead Trumpet for many of the charts, but Danny Stiles played Lead for much of 1960. On four trumpet charts Doc Severinson is the Lead Trumpet and gives you a small window into his amazing career in New York. The last CD in this collection includes soloists Gerry Mulligan, Bob Brookmeyer, Clarke Terry, and Jim Hall! Historic performances. This is a not to be missed release of the best big band jazz from this era!
