Gerry Mulligan Ten-Tette

Can anyone give an opinion on these - I think - 1953 sessions, either for music or recording quality? I like some of Gerry's other large ensemble records like the Verve Concert Band recordings, and of course his work with Miles on Birth of the Cool. Are there any good reissues out there? I think the original is on a Capital 10-inch.

P.S.
from earlier list amazing that Trombone player Sal Mosca is still playing.I have become email pals with a young new york tenor player Chris Byars on Smalls label (and the club of course) and he was two great Byars CD's "Night Owls" and "Pictures At An Exhibition Of Himalaya Art".Chris also got TEDDY CHARLES (somebody else you'd be into as cool third stream player) after no recording in 30 years.Worth checking out.

Found it.You can get a CD of material at Dusty Groove.Moove fast.They have incredible catalogue but order so few copies I have gotten email alerts for a CD or LP and then three hours latter they have sold all 5 copies.If you want you can look for original or there was a Capitol Classics Vol.4 4 Walking Shoes that came out in 70's.Man I am good.But since I drive a wreck car,live in apt.,can't afford decent clothes but won 7.5K jazz Cd's and LP's I remember the old underground comix "Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" whose motto was "dope and no money will get you through times of money and no dope" and just substituted jazz for the drugs.

Thanks man. I think that might be what I'm looking for. I've seen a couple of vinyl copies around and at least one 70's reissue - complete with cheezy cover art.

Chazzbo, since when did Sal Mosca play trombone?

Grimace, I have the original 10" Capitol "Ten-Tette" album in
pretty good shape (though I bought it new way back when and have played it a
LOT over the years). In whatever incarnation, it's well worth seeking out. EDIT;
Just replayed this 10-incher and yes, it's a good one, albeit the epitome of "cool
jazz" with its plusses and minuses. A lack of emotional depth is pretty obvious.

My favorite Mulligan album is a fairly obscure item called "Walk on the
Water," circa 1980, originally on DRG vinyl.
