This album was originally released 1962.
Altoist Paul Desmond and baritonist Gerry Mulligan always made for a
perfect team during their infrequent collaborations. Both of the
saxophonists had immediately distinctive light tones, strong wits, and
the ability to improvise melodically. For this RCA CD (a series that
reissued some of the earlier Bluebirds under the RCA banner), the two
masterful reed players are featured in pianoless quartets that also
include Wendell Marshall, Joe Benjamin or John Beal on bass, and
Connie Kay or Mel Lewis on drums. The songs all utilize common chord
changes, including the two "originals" ("Two of a Kind" and "Blight of
the Fumble Bee"), and the interplay between Desmond and Mulligan is
consistently delightful. Highly recommended. [The 2003 Bluebird
reissue boasts crisp remastered sound, extensive liner notes, and five
bonus tracks: alternate takes of two album tracks, "All the Things You
Are" and "The Way You Look Tonight," a laid-back take of "Easy Living"
that shows off Mulligan's way with a ballad, and two takes of
"Untitled Blues Waltz" that feature Jim Hall on guitar and a very
squeaky drum pedal. They play the first version straight, but on take
two Mulligan shifts over to piano and Desmond tries his hand at
baritone, sounding pretty good until the band suddenly stops at
scarcely more than a minute and a half into the track. A nice little
rarity. The bonus tracks are a strong addition to a great
collaborative effort.]
