Gerry Mulligan was an American jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, composer and arranger. He was a giant in the jazz world and regarded as one of, if not the greatest, jazz baritonists of all time. Though Mulligan is primarily known as a jazz baritone saxophonist -playing the instrument with a light and airy tone in the era of cool jazz - he was also a skilled arranger, working with Claude Thornhill, Miles Davis, Stan Kenton, and others.
