MULLIGAN, WEBSTER:
Gerry Mulligan on baritone sax and Ben Webster on tenor are men who produce a full resonant-toned jazz river of sounds that engulfs all of us listeners. There is so much mystery and joy abounding. I feel the ability to move a classic slow tune along in a beautiful way is such a marvelous thing. Tonight I 've listened again to Gerry and Ben playing the vibrant, engaging number called 'In a Mellow Tone.' And listen this composition has me smiling in a big way. People have been so kind to me today and that fact and also the super-polished jazz I have dug tonight (as produced by Mr. Gerry Mulligan and Ben Webster) has made me have a terrific, so-satisfied feeling. On the jazz I heard in this set the other guys were the sleek Jimmy Rowles on piano, Leroy Vinnegar on the bass and the man of style, Mr. Mel Lewis on the drums. This jazzy, good feeling evening has made me feel so very good.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
