A killer collection of this unique musical moment from Gerry Mulligan – with material that appeared on the albums Concert Jazz Band, Concert Jazz Band At The Village Vanguard, A Concert In Jazz, Concert Jazz Band On Tour Guest Soloist Zoot Sims, and Gerry Mulligan 63 – plus unissued tracks, too! This four disc-set contains all of the existing Concert Band Sessions from May 1960 to December 1962, and makes available for the first time five previously unreleased performances. Some seven others, whose original tapes are either missing or lost, are notated here for the sake of discography. This was, arguably – after and aside from Mulligan's piano-less quartet with Chet Baker – the most visionary music he ever made. It eclipses his nonet recordings of the 1950s because of the sophisticated charts written by trombonist Bob Brookmeyer, and the writing Mulligan was doing formed the strength of this band – though this is not immediately apparent at the outset of Disc One. The set commences with a version of the band that included six brass, four reeds, Mulligan on baritone (and piano occasionally), bass, and drums.

On Jay Geils, Gerry Beaudoin and the Kings of Strings, their free flowing pace and styles open the doors to the 30's and 40's ‘gypsy' style of music in an all acoustic set. Jay and Gerry's playing has a way of drawing in Aaron Weinstein's violin and mandolin like a moth to light, and Aaron, who at the ripe age of 19, shows his understanding of this style of music. Jay Geils, Gerry Beaudoin and the Kings of Strings is an acoustic journey across 13 tracks that mixes jazz classics with a few originals from Gerry Beaudoin.
