mulligan on clarinet--

i find it refreshing, but there isn't much of it.

all that i recall is on the limelight issue "feeling good' with strings.

is there more??

[jazztrain]

I think Mulligan solos on clarinet on at least one tune on the cd version of the Verve "Night Lights" album. I think it's a different version of the tune from another session (perhaps the one that resulted in the "Feelin' Good" album). I won't be able to confirm until I get home later.

There must be an on-line Mulligan discography...

There is.

GERRY MULLIGAN AT A WHITE HOUSE CONCERT

Roy Eldridge, Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie (tp), Gerry Mulligan (cl), Benny Carter, Ornette

Coleman (as), Illinois Jacquet, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims (ts), Lionel

Hampton (vib), Teddy Wilson, Cecil Taylor, Chick Corea (p), George Benson (g), Milt Hinton,

Ray Brown (b), Jo Jones, Louis Bellson (dm)

The White House, Washington, Washington D.C., June 18, 1978

Contained 35 performers and 3 announcers. Gerry was one of the announcers. He presented the

Benny Carter-Roy Eldridge All Stars, but he didn't bring any instrument. Lionel Hampton invited

everyone back for a final jam. Gerry borrowed a clarinet from a New Orleans Brass Band (Tuxedo)

musician and joined in for the last two numbers. There is a doubt as to which musicians

participated in the final jam session.

Flying Home (6:06) Private recording

In The Good Old Summer Time (4:35) As above

thtanks for the excellent inf0--there's more than thought.

mulligan on clarinet--

is there more??

There was a show from the CBS news division in the '60s: Eyewitness. Hosted by Charles Kuralt. When Bossa Nova became a 'çraze' here they did a show on it, filming mostly in Rio in the clubs and, anturally, on the beach. Around '62, I would think. It's archived at the Museum of Television and Radio in NY and LA.

The final segment is hilarious: It's in a studio with Tom Jobim at the piano and Mulligan on clarinet. Jobim is trying to teach him the proper phrasing for One Note Samba. Gerry isn't quite getting it, knows it, and starts getting flustered on-camera. (said phrasing is subtle and endemic to Brasilian culture and he wasn't the only one who felt weird trying it at first). Finally, Jobim benevelently says

'Hey, Gerry. You almost got it that time!'

and the show ends.

[alocispepraluger102]

thx.

you've said it all.
