Pim Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 Mulligan and Harper in one band. That’s definitely interesting! Quote
Ken Dryden Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) If one exists, I'd love to hear it. One of things I treasure is the suite that Bob Brookmeyer wrote for Mulligan as the featured soloists. It was performed and broadcast in Europe, though Scott Robinson appeared on the eventual recording after Mulligan's death. I shared a copy with Brookmeyer. Bob Brookmeyer & the New Art Orchestra: Salzau, Germany, August 12, 1994 City of Angels Duets King Porter Stomp Dreams Celebration: Jig Celebration: Slow Dance Celebration: Remembering Celebration: Two And Bob Brookmyer-vlv tbn, cond Gerry Mulligan-bs (Celebration) Oliver Leicht-reeds Nils Van Haftern-reeds Edgar Herzog-reeds Paul Heller-reeds Marco Lackner-reeds Ralf Hesse-tpt Thorsten Benkenstien-tpt, flug Sebastian Strempel-tpt, flug Wim Both-tpt, flug Eckard Bauer-tpt, flug Anael Soomary-tpt, flug Ruud Breuls-tpt, flug Ansgar Streipens-tbn Christian Jakso-tbn Domnik Stoeger-tbn Christian Nasjö-tbn Anders Wiborg-tbn Ed Partyka-b tbn Jurgen Grimm-keys Kris Goessens-p Ingmar Heller-b John Hollenbeck-d other musicians are also present...

JSngry Posted April 9, 2021 Author Report Posted April 9, 2021 https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/master/music/mulligan/200003721/0001.pdf looking at all of this, there are a lot of...interesting encounters over the years. Mulligan was, of course, what is the word, peripatetic in his activities, and a lot of this is "expected", but - not all. More encounters with Monk than just the (tepid, imo) Riverside album. And apparently there are LOC tapes for some of it, including rehearsal tapes for The Age Of Steam...and other things as well. I went in simply looking to see how long Chico Hamilton was with the quartet (not long at all, it turns out), but ended up staying to look at all the gigs for the Quartet with Brookmeyer (god there were a LOT), and then...Mulligan at Newport resulted in a lot of one-offs (daily!), and then....it just goes on... I've never really "loved" Mulligan, but he was one of my first imprints (time/place/general weird fate) and still come back once in a while just to check it all out again, you know how that goes, appreciation gets refined with the application of broadened realities. But this document is kinda...arresting. One guy pops up in all of these places over the years...crazy. and c'mon, THIS!?!?!?!?!?! Gerry Mulligan (sop), Roger Kellaway (p), Mike Johnson (g), Don Moore (b), Elvin Jones (dm) Scrapple From The Apple Marguerite WTF?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!! Quote
Ken Dryden Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 I wrote the liner notes to The Classic Concert Live and was dismayed when they sent the advance CDR and discovered that they had omitted all of Mulligan's big band instrumentals. I don't believe that this entire broadcast was aired as a part of NPR's Jazz Alive!, because I taped it when it aired. So I was already very familiar with the music long before the CD came into being. Kool Jazz Festival, Carnegie Hall, New York City, N.Y., June 29, 1982 Another Kind Of Sunday (4:36/4:18) Big Band 42nd And Broadway ** (5:32/5:08) Big Band K-4 Pacific (10:17) Big Band There are several songs listed as being broadcast on Jazz Alive! that are not present on my 1982 cassettes. Unless they aired on a separate broadcast, this may be in error in this discography. Concord Jazz should have issued a 2 CD set, there was more than enough great material, though Torme's loopy ending to the Willard Robison medley probably made it unusable. Quote

Where did you find this discography entry? If the material is listed as unissued, then clearly a tape exists. Quote
