												  Gerry Mulligan DiscographyGERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

												  Top 20 Soul Jazz for 2003 As Selected by Chuck Ingersol, Host of Soul Jazz SpectrumTop 20 Soul Jazz for 2003 as selected by Chuck Ingersol, host of Soul Jazz Spectrum 1. Ron Levy, FINDING MY WAY – Levy adds vibes, Fender Rhodes, even cello to his soul jazz mix, plus guest artists Karl Denson and Melvin Sparks. Rarely has soul jazz been so diverse and melodically interesting, while maintaining a rock-solid groove. 2. Javon Jackson, EASY DOES IT – Jackson seems far more excited and into his second soul jazz album than he was on his first a few years ago. Strong writing and great sidemen make for one of the year’s best soul jazz releases. 3. Roy Hargrove & the RH Factor, HARD GROOVE – It’s hip hop, rap and soul jazz, much more shaken than stirred. 4. Melvin Sparks, WHAT YOU HEAR IS WHAT YOU GET – Originally released on his own label, Savant picked up "WHAT YOU GET" in 2003. Inspired Sparks guitar and rowdy vocals produce an album that never drops below a slow boil. 5. Rodney Jones, SOUL MANIFESTO LIVE – Following up the SOUL MANIFESTO studio session, guitarist Jones and sidemen play with fire and imagination, and throw in a pretty ballad or two. 6. Dr. Lonnie Smith, BOOGALOO TO BECK – Contrary to what you may have initially thought, Dr. Lonnie proves you can, indeed, boogaloo to Beck! 7. Bill Heid, DA GIRL – One of the most technically adept and harmonically advanced organists, Heid blends post-bop and soul into a tasty mix more sophisticated than created by most organ combos. 8. The Crusaders, RURAL RENEWAL – The Crusaders re-energized, with catchy tunes and guest appearances from gospel singer Donnie McClurkin and Eric Clapton.

												  June 2010 IssueNEW YORK June 2010 | No. 98 Your FREE Monthly Guide to the New York Jazz Scene newyork.allaboutjazz.com HERBIE HANCOCKSEVEN DECADES OF IMAGINATION Mark Feldman • David S. Ware • Kadima Collective • Event Calendar NEW YORK Despite the burgeoning reputations of other cities, New York still remains the jazz capital of the world, if only for sheer volume. A night in NYC is a month, if not more, anywhere else - an astonishing amount of music packed in its 305 square miles (Manhattan only 34 of those!). This is normal for the city but this month, there’s even more, seams bursting with amazing concerts. New York@Night Summer is traditionally festival season but never in recent memory have 4 there been so many happening all at once. We welcome back impresario George Interview: Mark Feldman Wein (Megaphone) and his annual celebration after a year’s absence, now (and by Sean Fitzell hopefully for a long time to come) sponsored by CareFusion and featuring the 6 70th Birthday Celebration of Herbie Hancock (On The Cover). Then there’s the Artist Feature: David S. Ware always-compelling Vision Festival, its 15th edition expanded this year to 11 days 7 by Martin Longley at 7 venues, including the groups of saxophonist David S. Ware (Artist Profile), drummer Muhammad Ali (Encore) and roster members of Kadima Collective On The Cover: Herbie Hancock (Label Spotlight). And based on the success of the WinterJazz Fest, a warmer 9 by Andrey Henkin edition, eerily titled the Undead Jazz Festival, invades the West Village for two days with dozens of bands June.
