Full Concert Friday this week.

Full concert by baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan and his Big Band at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Prins Willem Alexanderzaal of the Congresgebouw, The Hague, The Netherlands on July 16th, 1982.

Gerry Mulligan was one of the leading arrangers in the era of cool jazz working with Miles Davis, Stan Kenton and Claude Thornhill in the 1950’s and 1960’s. 

Mulligan’s quartet of the early 50’s with trumpeter Chet Baker is still regarded as one of the best cool jazz groups.  Born in New York in 1927, Mulligan spent his life composing, arranging and playing jazz until his untimely death on January 20, 1996.
