Gerry MULLIGAN – Nights At The Turntable 1951-52

The story of Gerry Mulligan's success is very much a
tale of two cities, New York and Los Angeles. It is also the tale of Mulligan's
trajectory from respected arranger to imitated player. By the end of the 1940's
Gerry, the arranger, had made considerable impact with scores like 'Elevation'
for Elliot Lawrence, 'Disc Jockey Jump' for Gene Krupa, and 'Godchild' for
Claude Thornhill, as well as those numbers which he had contributed to Miles
Davis 'Birth of the Cool' group, 'Venus De Milo', 'Rocker' and others.
