Background: Gerry Mulligan had a long career, but his 1960 LP Gerry Mulligan and His Concert Jazz Band at the Village Vanguard is not only regarded as his best effort, but it’s rightly regarded as one of the best jazz albums ever made.
Allmusic.com gave Gerry Mulligan and His Concert Jazz Band at the Village Vanguard a 5 star review:
Of all the recordings made by Gerry Mulligan’s Concert Jazz Band in the 1960s, this is the definitive one. There are many high points, including “Body and Soul” (which has fine solos from the baritone/leader and valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer), “Come Rain or Come Shine,” and the swinging “Let My People Be,” but “Blueport” takes honors. On the latter, after hot solos by Mulligan, trombonist Willie Dennis, and Jim Reider on tenor, Mulligan and trumpeter Clark Terry have a lengthy trade-off that is quite hilarious with a countless number of quotes from different songs; at one point they trade off cities. This music is essential.
