"Gerry Mulligan
had two-part inventions and fugue-like things going with Chet
Baker or Bob Brookmeyer, and everything was in order. When he
broke the rules, he knew what he was doing." "Mulligan
brought humor back into modern jazz...a happy relaxed
feeling....that permitted him to play in almost any jazz
context, and that made him the big catalyst that he is." |
