Bio: Gerry Mulligan

Though the baritone saxist/composer/arranger is primarily known as a major figure in the cool school of jazz, Gerry Mulligan fit in well with figures representing virtually all jazz styles, and his collaborations with Thelonious Monk, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins and Paul Desmond attest to his extensive knowledge of varied improvisational approaches. Instrumentally, no one in jazz has better implemented the baritone saxophone than Mulligan.

Born April 6, 1927, in New York City, Mulligan learned piano and reed instruments while in his teens, also writing arrangements for Johnny Warrington's radio band when he was 17. Though he grew up in Philadelphia, he returned to his birthplace at 19 to become staff arranger for Gene Krupa's group. The ensuing years coupled him with the bands of Claude Thornhill, Kai Winding and Stan Kenton, but his most prominent early career presence was as a player in Miles Davis' nonet in 1949 and 1950. In fact, many feel that his input on the famous Birth Of The Cool sessions was unfairly underemphasized by Davis.

Mulligan became increasingly significant as a jazz musician when, after moving to Los Angeles, he created a piano-less quartet, which included trumpeter Chet Baker, in 1952. The lack of harmonic direction required exceptionally tight interplay between Mulligan and Baker—and in later configurations, with Art Farmer and Bob Brookmeyer—creating a new texture in jazz that was overwhelmingly accepted by '50s jazz fans.

Because of his interest in arranging for larger ensembles, the post-'50s Mulligan led groups featuring 13, 14 and even 20 players. Basing himself in mostly in New York, Mulligan's tours of Europe and Japan cemented his reputation as both a top-notch arranger and the name most likely associated with bringing respect to the baritone saxophone. He died Jan. 19, 1996, in Darien, Conn., from complications following knee surgery. He was 68 years old.

In 1993, Mulligan was elected by the Readers into the Down Beat Hall of Fame.

Bio: Chet Baker

"He always knows where to find the sweet notes, doesn't he?" Herb Ellis remarked one evening to Tal Farlow, listening to Chet Baker in a Canadian nightclub, in 1982. Baker was in severe decline by then, after a surprisingly long life of drug addiction and fast living, but, even on the downhill, Baker's diminished sound could envelop an audience in wistful romance.

A lyrical, self-taught improviser with a soft touch that seemed to kiss the notes as they flew by, Baker laid claim to Miles Davis' cool, laid-back approach early on and made it his, for life. With his wan, Hollywood good looks and bad-boy reputation, Baker became the posterboy for West Coast cool jazz. In a style that combined restraint with a certain nervous agitation and a strong dose of sentimentality, particularly on ballads, Baker captured the imagination not only of jazz lovers, but of a general public fascinated as much by his lifestyle as his music. Baker's high, whispered vocals, even more popular now than in his heyday, captured the same sleepy intimacy as his trumpet, particularly on such tunes as "I Fall in Love Too Easily," and "Everything Happens To Me."

Baker was born Dec. 23, 1929 in Yale, Okla., and moved to California with his family in 1940. He began playing trumpet in junior high school, continuing his studies at El Camino College after a stint with the U.S. Army Band in Berlin. In 1950, while stationed at the Presidio, in San Francisco, Baker became a regular at Bop City. In 1952, back in Los Angeles he won an audition with Charlie Parker, then was recruited by Gerry Mulligan into his ground-breaking pianoless quartet, which held forth at the Haig, in Hollywood. Recordings by the quartet made Baker famous. He went solo, working again with Parker, then forming a succession of groups as a leader, first in the United States and, from 1955, in Europe.

Baker's prolonged heroin addiction, and his many subsequent arrests, ensured that his career, a large part of which he spent in Europe fleeing the authorities, was sadly uneven, though a methadone recovery program in the 1980s led to widespread touring. Just before he died—on May 13, 1988, in Amsterdam, under mysterious circumstances, falling out of a second story window—Baker played himself in a revealing documentary by Bruce Weber, Let's Get Lost. The beginning of an autobiography, As Though I Had Wings, appeared posthumously in 1997.

In 1989, Baker was elected by the Critics into the Down Beat Hall of Fame.


review CD

CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT is a compilation of material from the original CTI releases: "Carnegie Hall Concerts, Volume 1 and 2".Personnel includes: Chet Baker (trumpet); Gerry Mulligan (saxophone); Dave Samuels (vibraphone); Bob James (keyboards); John Scofield (guitar); Ron Carter (bass); Harvey Mason (drums).Personnel includes: Chet Baker (trumpet); Gerry Mulligan (baritone saxophone); Bob James (keyboards); John Scofield (guitar); Ron Carter (bass); Harvey Mason (drums).Recorded live at Carnegie Hall, New York, November 24, 1974.Master Sound releases are 24-karat gold CDs remastered from first-generation masters. This process utilizes 20-bit technology and Sony's "Super Bit Mapping" system.This 1974 release finds Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker together in a live setting. The two jazz paragons hadn't worked together in 10 years, but from the first downbeat it's evident that they still possess the musical rapport they'd developed as young men. Taking the West Coast by storm 22 years earlier with their famed pianoless quartet, Mulligan and Baker had the keen ability to work almost as one performer. This is clearly evident on "Bernie's Tune," where they trade licks on the tune's bridge in articulate, fluid gestures, almost as one player.Despite their substance abuse, Baker and Mulligan grew as improvisers over many years performing on concert stages and in jazz clubs. This album is testament to their ability to adapt and embrace modern jazz stylings. When they hark back to their roots on compositions such as "My Funny Valentine" and "Line For Lyons," they play with a kind of casual, relaxed swing indicative of the '50s cool jazz feel they helped create.
