Gerry Mulligan est sans doute le plus grand saxophoniste baryton de l’histoire du jazz, formidable instrumentiste et arrangeur, il incarne à lui tout seul la sommité du cool jazz. Ce coffret 3 CD regroupe des enregistrements captés à Paris de sa célèbre formation big band : le Concert Jazz Band, dans laquelle s’illustrent notamment Zoot Sims et Bob Brookmeyer. La quintessence du jazz orchestral.

La collection Live in Paris, dirigée par Michel Brillié, permet de retrouver des enregistrements inédits (concerts, sessions privées ou radiophoniques), des grandes vedettes du jazz, du rock & roll et de la chanson du XXe siècle. Ces prises de son live, et la relation avec le public, apportent un supplément d’âme et une sensibilité en contrepoint de la rigueur appliquée lors des enregistrements studios. Une importance singulière a été apportée à la restauration sonore des bandes, pour convenir aux standards CD tout en conservant la couleur d’époque.
Patrick FRÉMEAUX & Gilles PÉTARD
No doubt the greatest baritone player in jazz history, saxophonist Gerry Mulligan was a wonderful composer and arranger who came to represent the summits of cool jazz all on his own. This 3CD set brings together recordings he made in Paris with the famous jazz group he called his Concert Jazz Band, which also featured notably the tenor Zoot Sims and trombonist Bob Brookmeyer. The quintessential jazz orchestra.

The Live in Paris collection by Michel Brillié allows listeners to hear previously-unreleased recordings (made at concerts and private- or radio-sessions) by the great 20th stars in jazz, rock & roll and song. These “live” takes, and the artists’ rapport with their audiences, gives these performances an additional soul and sensibility in counterpoint to the rigorous demands of studio recordings. Particular care was taken when restoring the sound of these tapes in order to meet CD standards while preserving the original colours of the period.
