Gerry Mulligan
Day 83
#49 – Gerald Joseph ‘Gerry’ Mulligan (1927–1996). American jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, composer and arranger. Albums include: Gerry Mulligan Quartet, Volume 1&2 (1953), Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster (1959) and Gerry Mulligan and the Concert Jazz Band at the Village Vanguard (1961).
Mulligan was one of the leading baritone saxophone players. His name on an angle reminded me of a sax, especially with the ‘Y’ at the end.
