Gerry Mulligan is, perhaps, best known for the "cool" sound he is able to generate from his baritone saxophone. He has recorded with other fellow saxophonists such as Stan Getz, Paul Desmond, Johnny Hodges and Ben Webster. Here he meets up with Scott Hamilton, on tenor. On a recording entitled Soft Lights, Sweet Music, the listener should expect to find warm ballads. You'll find just that; sultry jazz ballads among a few upbeat, fun spirited numbers. Five of the seven tracks included are originals by Mulligan himself.

MoFi uncovers a diamond in the rough! This sax summit from the Concord catalog, recorded in January of 1986, is an audiophile delight. Mobile Fidelity has produced one of the most natural sounding jazz releases in their history. Thankfully the original analog master tape was in perfect condition when MoFi got a hold of it. The original 30ips master certainly didn't hurt their chances of producing a stunning release. Hear Gerry Mulligan's baritone front left and Scott Hamilton's tenor front right, as if they are in the room with you. The great rhythm section stands behind the soloists with bass dead center in the soundfield. The piano is extremely well recorded and Grady Tate's drumming is absolutely fabulous. But on Soft Lights & Sweet Music, it's the horn players who really get to shine. We highly recommend this title to anyone with a love of great, cool jazz and the uninitiated will find this album very accessible, as well.Gerry Mulligan is, perhaps, best known for the "cool" sound he is able to generate from his baritone saxophone.
