Interesting listening to 1952 album version and this... more bebop influence, more fluidity. Live cuts are so much better (then again, also he was playing the tune for 28 years by 1980!). Great sound, great solo composition.
Gerry has certainly owned this tune since it's introduction. But original credit has to go to the composer, Bernie Miller. Without his ideas put on paper, there would be no 'Bernie's Tune'
Dude, you've obviously haven't heard Ronnie Cuber play. You should. Don't get me wrong Gerry Mulligan is a legend but there are players today throwing out monster sounds and I think it's important to know the past players but i'm sure they want us to surpass their acheivements. There are great Bari players out there,, you just have to look for them.
One of the greatest baritone sax players of all time.
what a great sax player the best of his time
Gerry ... Playing as creatively as he when he had a crewcut!
Real foundation stone of the West Coast style.
He doesn't just quote from the header, he quotes from musicland!
Great, the master of the baritone sax!!
He played Bernie's tune in 1956...wow!! God knows how much time before that...
on a record in 1952 actually :D
Gerry Mulligans amazing
R.I.P. gerry, your music will never die!
Fantastic..

Ye gods...
Nice man and the question about his ex wife amused him...Sandy Dennis? "She was, GROOVY, man...GROOVY." He smiled.
Yeap, Gerry is the best baritone.

plus if I'm a bari player, I wouldn't want to sound like Gerry, i'd want to sound like myself.
@123must: Aronund the years of this recording bass players had ugly-souding amplifiers!
В каком году это исполнение?
What kind of bari does he play?
He had at least two - Conn New wonder gold plate # 185958; Conn New Wonder silver plate # 226935. He played a Gregory Gale Hollywood 5M18 mouthpiece.
I do not like only the style of the bass player!
