A (Gerry) Mulligan Stew on WRTI

WRTI Your Classical and Jazz Source | By Bob Craig

Published April 4, 2014 at 4:18 PM EDT

The Big Band side of the influential baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan will be featured on Big Band Jazz this Sunday, April 13 at 7 pm. An arranger with Gene Krupa, Elliot Lawrence, and Stan Kenton in the '40s and '50s, to his own Concert Jazz Band in the '60s, it's an 87th birthday tribute to the one-time Philly resident.
