A flexible soloist who was always ready to jam with anyone from Dixielanders to the most advanced boppers, Mulligan brought a somewhat revolutionary light sound to his potentially awkward and brutal horn and played with the speed and dexterity of an altoist. Mulligan started on the piano before learning clarinet and the various saxophones. His initial reputation was as an arranger. In 1944 he wrote charts for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJohnny Warrington's radio band and soon was making contributions to the books of Tommy Tucker and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGeorge Paxton.

This session, recorded at New York‘s Nola Penthouse Studios in 1963 is a little-known masterwork from the incredible Gerry Mulligan catalog. This reissue was remastered using transfers from the original tapes, lifted from the Phillips vault by mastering legend Kevin Gray.

Shimmering with a late-night beauty that perfectly evokes a sophisticated New York City in the early 1960s. — via Label\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1uJ9OJIgmgj4ta8xjq9nEJ?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Verve Records, UMe\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Acoustic Sounds Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180gr, Gatefold\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Worldwide\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2024 \/ Original Release: 1963\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Cool Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Audiophile Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verve \/ Acoustic Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43917659144350,"sku":"602465018363","price":65.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/GM_NIGHTLIGHTS_COVER_3000x3000_0b9b2f36-2260-4cf7-ae95-ce682a559b85.jpg?v=1717241234","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/gerry-mulligan-night-lights-acoustic-sounds-series","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
