NotesThe impact of Gerry Mulligan's piano-less quartet on the jazz world in 1953 was instant and far-reaching. No-one had ever heard anything like it before. Baritone saxophone, trumpet, bass and drums seemed such an unlikely combination, yet the effect was enchanting-light, supple, tuneful, witty. Chet Baker, hitherto unrecorded and totally unknown, became a star overnight, hailed as the new Bix Beiderbecke on account of his clear tone and lyrical turn of phrase. The quartet's music was that rare kind of jazz which appeals to everyone, all kinds of jazz fans and a broad section of the general public as well. This attractive compilation brings together a mixture of singles and album tracks recorded by Mulligan and Baker during their 'golden year' between August '52 and May '53, adding an intriguing 'Festive Minor' from their '57 reunion. With the exception of a glorious live version of torch song 'My Funny Valentine', which clocks in at over 5 minutes, most of the material here is of single duration, around or under the 3 minute mark. The combination of Baker's silvery trumpet tones against Mulligan's rich register baritone, is a winning one, especially on 'Love me or Leave me' and 'Soft Shoe'
