Description
The ensemble is made up of all the usual instruments – but its sound of “concertizing” jazz is far from usual! Instead of a bombastic tone and soloists intent on prominence, carefully defined groups of wind instruments present themselves singly, then retire to allow others to come forward, with each group finally returning to “prowl around one another warily” like tigers in the arena. Mulligan stages a thrilling musical spectacle in which fierce rivalry, songlike harmony and refined counterpoint play the main roles.
With its brilliant transparency, sonority and optimal identification of the instruments’ location, this limited edition recording should not be missed by any “cool jazz” fan.
