Customer Reviews

Enough said.
"Getz Meets Mulligan" was my favorite jazz album when I was 16, and it remains my favorite as I approach 60.

That about covers it, so far as I'm concerned.

Meeting of two greats
I was delighted to read that this recording had been made, from the cover notes on "Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster". Then,when listening to it I found that they complemeted each other's playing perfectly. The icing on the cake was to be told in the cover notes that they had swapped instruments for the first 3 tracks and listening again to hear the characteristics of each one's style on unfamiliar instruments. This is one of my favourite recordings.

not really fireworks
Stan the Man, the greastest sax player of all time should have made a number of albums with Jeru - the best baritone of all time (since his better playing mentor Serge Chaloff died off young). Both were Cool both West Coast Jazz. The owner of Verve put them together. But there is only this one.

In order to fool the listener, they switch instuments at one point! Getz plays baritone and Mulligan plays tenor. They should have made great music togehter but the results are adequate but don't live up to what each of the Cool Jazz greats did on other albums where they were out front. The Getz and Bill Evans albums are also pretty mediocre. Maybe too many egos?

The best series of duet albums Getz did (other than piano with Al Haig or Kenny Barrons) was with Bob Brookmeyer on valve trombone.

Why this one is adequate but not great (as is stated elsewhere), it's hard to say.
