Gerald Joseph "Gerry" Mulligan (1927 – 1996) was an
American jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, composer and arranger. Though
Mulligan is primarily known as one of the leading baritone saxophonists
in jazz history – playing the instrument with a light and airy tone in
the era of cool jazz – he was also a notable arranger, working with
Claude Thornhill, Miles Davis, Stan Kenton, and others. Mulligan's
pianoless quartet of the early 1950s with trumpeter Chet Baker is still
regarded as one of the more important cool jazz groups. Mulligan was
also a skilled pianist and played several other reed instruments.
