Gerry Mulligan. There's a good recording of him with Thelonious Monk called "Mulligan Meets Monk."
ReplyDeleteSounds worth checking out. I don't have a huge amount of Jeru in my collection. Birth of the Cool, some of the work he did with Chet Baker, the album he did with Ben Webster, a few other things. Maybe it's because the Cool/West Coast styles are not my favorite. But I do love the larger sizes of sax. Do you know Coltrane's Dakar? It has TWO bari saxes on it, Pepper Adams & Cecil Payne. Actually, Adams was really the leader at the session, but Prestige reissued it in the 60s under Coltrane's name after he became famous. It has a great sound to it, very dark. I'm not sure if that particular combination of instruments (tenor, 2 baris, piano, bass, drums) has ever been used since.
ReplyDeleteFolks are commenting now? WTF?
