Gerry Mulligan Quartet: Dream a Little Dream
Still some sparks left but definitely Jeru feeling his age. A gentle tribute to songs and arrangers that inspired Mulligan throughout his career.
Art Pepper: Smack Up
Boy, Pepper can play! His work from the Contemporary Records sessions is so sharp - amazing. Definitely my favorite alto sax player at the moment (sorry, Cannonball)
Toots Thielemans: The Brasil Project
A jazz harmonica player from Belgium deeply in touch with the soul of Brazilian music - a testament to the universal nature of music.
