5.0 out of 5 stars Great interplay between two saxophone giants, June 8, 2001

This review is from: Getz Meets Mulligan in Hi-Fi (Audio CD)

I remember owning the original LP that was titled "Mulligan meets Getz meets Mulligan". I think that was the title on a blue album cover.

The idea of trading horns for the first few numbers was very novel and fun. After careful listening you'd be able to distinguish who was playing what horn from the stylistic approach of each artist.

The kickoff number of "Let's Fall in Love" is wonderful. The beautiful "A Ballad" showcases the soft and cool improvisational skills of Mulligan and Getz.

The two cuts that weren't included on the original album -First, "Scrapple From The Apple" demonstrated just how well these two "cool school" musicians could burn on an uptempo number. Second, "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" is an easy-going foot-tapper with Mulligan starting off with very creative lines. Getz lends his smooth, airy and controlled solo with absolute coolness. And let's not forget Lou Levy and Ray Brown's equally inventive solos.

One of my all-time favorites from both Mulligan and Getz. So my review may not sound as sophisticated as the others. Hey, I'm just a simple-minded reed player who's listened and played jazz for 35 years. I just love jazz. Buy this album!

"Getz Meets Mulligan" was my favorite jazz album when I was 16, and it remains my favorite as I approach 60.

That about covers it, so far as I'm concerned.

Two of the best cool jazz men working together with more chemistry than the sum of the periodic table. Great tunes and absulutely masterful improvisational efforts with theme and variations, counterpoint and more cool than an arctic meat locker. The guys trade horns midway through the recording, and their innate musical brilliance and versatility defy description. On my deserted island must have short list.
