Review

Musician (5/96, p.100) - "...the album is a perfect distillation of Mulligan's balance of simplicity and space with rapidly moving lines..."
Entertainment Weekly (2/16/96, p.63) - "...These 1957 recordings...find him playing with the light feel for which he became celebrated, but without the full measure of freedom and serenity he would ultimately attain..."
- Rating: B+

All songs written by Gerry Mulligan except "May-Reh" and "The Preacher" (Horace Silver), "Good Bait" (Tadd Dameron) and "Bags' Groove" (Milt Jackson).
Tracks 8-11, featuring Paul Palmieri, Dick Wetmore, Calo Scott, Vinnie Burke and Dave Bailey, were not included on the original LP release of THE GERRY MULLIGAN SONGBOOK. They are from an album by the Vinnie Burke String Quartet that was recorded in 1958 and assigned a record-company catalog number, but never commercially released.
THE GERRY MULLIGAN SONGBOOK was released as a stereo LP, but this 1996 CD reissue was made from mono master tapes. The stereo masters could not be found.
