Gerry Mulligan's original address books. The first of the two is a dark brown address book by designer Nazareno Gabrielli. It includes Mulligan's cards and personal notes. The second of the two address books is an "At a Glance" black covered and spiral bound book. Most addresses included in the "At a Glance" book have been crossed out.

These address books are fascinating, as they contain the names, numbers, and addresses of all the musicians and friends Gerry was in contact with during his life, such as Brazilian composer and pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim, Norman Granz, a jazz impresario - and founder of five record labels, or famed musician Dizzy Gillespie.

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.

These items come to us directly from the Mulligan family. The proceeds will go to The Gerry and Franca Mulligan Foundation, a charitable foundation established to fulfill Gerry's wishes to provide music education to young musicians, donate musical instruments to inner city schools, and perpetuate the music of Gerry Mulligan.
