Gerry Mulligan

Listen "Gerry Mulligan"

Episode Synopsis

Gerry Mulligan is one of the most important figures in jazz – as an instrumentalist, composer, arranger, bandleader and a principal architect of “cool” jazz. His story is what you are about to hear. As part of the Peabody Award-winning documentary series “Jazz Profiles,” this show about Gerry’s life and music was produced in 1996 by Tim Owens and Ken Poston – and narrated by the series host Nancy Wilson. The “Jazz Profiles” shows – nearly 200 of them – are part of the Tim Owens Jazz & Broadcast Collection at the University of North Texas Music Library. In a partnership with Tim and UNTML, we’ve picked a handful of noteworthy shows to share with you. You can find more “Jazz Profiles” shows at the UNT Music Library’s Jazz Syndicate (www.library.unt.edu/jazzsyndicate), and learn more about 32 Bar Blues' clothing collection and commitment to the arts at 32barblues.com
