Gerry Mulligan, Ben Webster – Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster LP

Gerry Mulligan, Ben Webster – Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster

This classic 1960 album by Mulligan, the Cool Jazz innovator, and Webster, the legendary Ellingtonian, is one for the ages. The tunes they recorded, from "Chelsea Bridge" to "Go Home", are smooth, lush and emotional, driven along by a rhythm section of Jimmy Rowles, Leroy Vinnegar and Mel Lewis that swings with just the right amount of bop.
