Music reviews of Quartet
Music Review: Inspired Collaboration Of Two Great Saxophonists
Rating: 5 Stars
The interplay and complementary interaction/counterpoint between Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond is remarkable on this album - particularly given the fact that it's been documented that they had little rehearsal time. Something about these sessions inspired Gerry to play at the top of his always fine form. As to Desmond - if you've only heard him in the confines of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, then you haven't heard his best work. This is at least among his very best recordings ever.
There are a few instances where you can tell both horn men are waiting on the other to act next - but this is likely more evident to musicians. A little more practice before laying down the tunes would have smoothed that out - but may have killed the spontaniety that makes this album so absolutely delightful.
Recorded at two sessions in August, 1957 - one in Los Angeles and one in New York, it was originally released on Verve #8246 as Gerry Mulligan-Paul Desmond Quartet. It was first reissued in 1963 as "Blues In Time" on Verve #8478. This CD reissue adds 3 tracks that were previously unissued.
It's always nice to find another gem from one of your favorite musicians - and that is certainly the case here for me. This is highly recommended cool "West Coast" small group jazz from the 1950's. An easy 5 star rating.
