A brilliant album in even better sound quality with the Redux reissue
What a pleasure to hear even higher levels of exceptional sound quality extracted by HDTT with their never ending quest to deliver the best sounding transfers they are able to make. This Redux reissue of Gerry Mulligan '63 is noticeably improved over the original release from 2016 -- cleaner, clearer, more open, more transparent. If you have the original HDTT release, which was *very* good, the sonics in this re-release are worth the upgrade. If you don't have it, all the more reason to get this now. This album was the final recording by the Concert Jazz Band before Mulligan had to break up the group. And while it may be considered a "lesser" album, it is still exceptionally good and a worthy addition to one's collection. Great writing from Bob Brookmeyer and Gary McFarland. Fine ensemble playing by the very best musicians of the time. Great solos! With trumpeter Clark Terry and guitarist Jim Hall co-starring with Mulligan. At bit less than 34 minutes, the album is a bit short but of high quality.
