Gerry Mulligan —
Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges ... CD Verve, 1959. Used ... $4.99
An unlikely pairing – but that's what makes the record so great! Mulligan and Hodges come together in this rare Verve set from the late 50s – an inspired combination of talents that really work some magic together. Hodges' tone is in the lead in our ears, always wonderful, especially ... read more CD
(Out of print 2003 digipak pressing.)
Pacific Jazz, 1956. Used ... $2.99
Gerry Mulligan brings the piano back in nicely here – but in a way that still hangs onto all the best modern tones of his earlier Pacific Jazz sessions! The date's a live one – done at Storyville in Boston – but the sound is wonderfully intimate, with Gerry on baritone sax and ... read more CD
(Out of print, traycard artwork has some very faint water damage.)
Fantasy, Early 50s. Good ... $11.99
A rare early Fantasy LP, one that features Gerry Mulligan working with a strong early group – Chet Baker on trumpet, Chico Hamilton on drums, and Carson Smith on bass – on 4 tracks recorded in San Francisco, and 4 others recorded slightly later in LA. The tunes are short, piano-less, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear & aging, ink stamp, tiny top seam split.)
Steeplechase (Denmark), 1959. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
Never-issued live work from one of our favorite groups ever headed by baritone modernist Gerry Mulligan – his wonderful quartet with Art Farmer on trumpet! The mix of Farmer and Mulligan is fantastic here – on long tunes that stretch out even more than their studio performances of the ... read more CD
Limelight, 1965. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $11.99
Yipes! What a bitter title – especially when you consider that Gerry actually added a piano to the group for this session, and that he's playing versions of 60s pop hits like "King Of The Road", "Downtown", "Mr Tambourine Man", "Hard Day's Night", and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono pressing in the extravagant gatefold cover, with intact booklet. Cover has light wear and a small sticker.)
United Artists, 1958. Very Good ... $2.99 4.99
This is the small combo recording of tracks from the legendary jazz score to I Want To Live! Although not featured that prominently in the film, the band of Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer, Bud Shank, and others were a pretty tight little group – even though it was strange to see this west coast ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono red label Microgroove pressing. Cover has surface wear.)
Columbia, 1962. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A pretty great little album – and very different than Gerry Mulligan's regular sides from the time! The session was originally produced as part of the sessions for the short-lived Jazztime label in the early 60s – and was produced by Dave Bailey with a soulful undercurrent that's quite ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s red label CSP pressing. Cover has some ringwear, edge wear, and some flaking in back at the opening.)
DRG, 1977. Sealed ... $5.99
Obscure work from Gerry Mulligan – and some of his best of the 70s! The record is a soundtrack for a French film starring Yves Montand, and the soundtrack was handled by Mulligan with assistance from Don Elliott – who brings in a funky style that's quite different than you'd expect ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s issue on DRG, still sealed with Priceless Collection sticker.)
EmArcy, 1956. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Gerry Mulligan's still far from the mainstream of jazz on this sweet little set – a great date that expands nicely from the mellower styles of the Pacific Jazz years – expanding the group a bit, with some really great results! In addition to Mulligan's usual baritone sax, Gerry also ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label drummer logo pressing with deep groove. Cover has oxidation and large gloss peels at the opening.)

Gerry Mulligan —
Presenting The Gerry Mulligan Sextet ... LP EmArcy, 1955. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A strong 50s session from Gerry – a bit like some of his work for the Pacific Jazz label, but perhaps a bit more biting and modern. The group's a sextet with Jon Eardley on trumpet, Zoot Sims on tenor, Dave Bailey on drums, Bob Brookmeyer on trombone, and Peck Morrison on bass – and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono Japanese Phonogram pressing – EXPR-1003. Cover has a cutout notch and light ring wear.)
Philips, 1962. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A great little session by Gerry – hidden amidst his 60s work, and a no-nonsense, gimmick-free album with some really great playing overall! The group on the set includes Bob Brookmeyer on valve trombone as well as piano, which he even plays in duet with Gerry on one track – and the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has light aging.)
Columbia, 1959. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A beautiful pairing of the baritone of Gerry Mulligan and the trumpet of Art Farmer – brought together wonderfully in this piano-less session that has both players effortlessly carving lines in the open space of the studio. Rhythm is by the team of Bill Crow on bass and Dave Bailey on drums ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono 6 eye pressing with deep groove. Cover has some light edge & surface wear, a spot of clear tape on both seams.)
