Complete Live In Rome Concert

Gerry Mulligan & Art Farmer

This phenomenal 71-minute release features one of the seminal performances of Gerry Mulligan's inimitable piano-less quartet with the oustanding trumpeter Art Farmer. Recorded at Rome's Adriano Theater on June 19, 1959, the two horn players take advantage of the freedom provided by the absence of the piano to improvise interweaving counterpoint lines with legendary skill.

The final recording of Mulligan's quartet with Farmer, this edition is as important for its historical significance as it is for the extraordinay quality of the music. Also includes the bonus track of Mulligan's composition "Utter Chaos" recorded at the Stockholm concert on May 19, 1959.
