Jeru: the Gerry Mulligan Story
It is exactly 50 years since saxophonist Gerry Mulligan established his
"pianoless" quartet featuring trumpeter Chet Baker. Regarded as the most revolutionary modern jazz group of the early 1950s, it consolidated Mulligan's work, which had begun with his arrangements for Gene Krupa ,
Claude Thomhill and Miles Davis. In the first of a new, four-part series, Alyn Shipton explores the formation of the quartet, with contributions from Lee Konitz , Gil Evans , Ira Gitler and the group's surviving founder member, drummer Chico Hamilton.
