Although the beautiful sound, mutual understanding
and harmonic balance mostly predominate, the
music of alto saxophonist Paul Desmond performing
together with baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan
is far from what one calls 'easy listening'. For
many, it is even difficult to identify the melody
of evergreens such as 'Stardust' and 'The Way You
Look Tonight'. (And what theme is tucked away in
'Two Of A Mind'????)
The recording in the RCA Victor Studio took place
over several days in 1962, and this is why
different bass players and percussionists are
heard ? Wendell Marshall, Joe Benjamin and John
Beal each take their turn on the bass, while
Connie Kay and Mel Lewis change places behind the
drum set. These musicians form a brilliant team,
and that there is no piano is both deliberate and
inevitable for Gerry Mulligan recordings of the
day. By the way, the second saxophonist in 'The
Way You Look Tonight' is Paul Desmond ? by means
of over-dubbing in the middle of the stereo
recording!
The present LP could certainly take a rightful
place in a 'Best Of' collection alongside the
other recordings by Gerry Mulligan with Ben
Webster and Stan Getz.
