By 1964, Gerry Mulligan had firmly established his reputation as a key architect of West Coast cool jazz and this record feels more like a quiet summation of his piano-less quartet work than a breakthrough. Compared to the loose, almost radical openness of his earlier works within this format, this session feels more grounded and deliberate, with solos more sculpted within a driving and relaxed conversational ethos.Significantly, here, Mulligan's baritone shares frontline duties with Bob Brookmeyer's trombone, which fills the harmonic space without weighing down the music with chordal comping (though Brookmeyer does switch to piano on "Piano Train").While generally viewed more as a late-period reaffirmation of Milligan's core ideas, which perhaps contributed to a lack of appreciation upon its original release, cuts like a strutting rendition of "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" and the architectural arrangement of Mulligan's original "Love in New Orleans" reveal the bandleader's quiet knack for innovation.Top Tracks: "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," "I Believe in You," "Love in New Orleans"
