REFERENCE: FSRCD 519

Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond were two of the most mischievous men in
jazz, kindred spirits united in their wit, sense of humour and approach to music.
There was a genuine fellow feeling between them, an affinity that extended beyond playing in time or fitting lines together. However, as might be expected of any group that featured Gerry with a piano-less rhythm section, this unit took on the informal personality of a Mulligan quartet; there were a couple of planned unison lines, but arrangement was kept to a minimum. And, as befits such a spectacularly happy union, it produced spontaneous creative combustion of the first order, full of excitement and felicitous surprises.
