Gerry Mulligan '63 Explained
Gerry Mulligan '63 (subtitled The Concert Jazz Band) is an album recorded by American jazz saxophonist and bandleader Gerry Mulligan featuring performances recorded in late 1962 which were released on the Verve label.[1] [2] [3]
Reception
The Allmusic review states "this is a high-quality if rather brief program. Trumpeter Clark Terry and guitarist Jim Hall co-star with Mulligan in the solo department. It is a pity that this orchestra could not prosper; all five of its recordings are worth getting".
