This somewhat forgotten studio session finds Gerry Mulligan, 25 years after he first acheived fame with his quartet

This somewhat forgotten studio session finds Gerry Mulligan, 25 years after he first acheived fame with his quartet, playing six of his fairly recent compositions along with a version of 'Waltzing Mathilda.' With vibraphonist Dave Samuels and a four-piece rhythm section accompanying him, Mulligan performs such songs as 'Walk on the Water,' 'Idol Gossip' and 'Strayhorn 2;' the latter a reworking of his 'Song for Strayhorn.' Jeru proves to still be in prime form and plays a bit of soprano sax on this date along with his distinctive baritone.
