One of three LPs recorded by the
Gerry Mulligan Sextet of 1955-56, this set includes plenty of lesser-known songs including "Mainstream," "Igloo" and "Lollypop." With such strong soloists as baritonist
Mulligan, the always swinging tenor of
Zoot Sims, valve trombonist
Bob Brookmeyer and trumpeter
Jon Eardley, this was a classic West Coast style jazz band and each of its recordings are worth acquiring.
