5-LP BOX SET

After three productive sessions in September/October 1955, material was selected for "Presenting The Gerry Mulligan Sextet," the first release by the group and Mulligan's first release on a major label, Mercury's Emarcy imprint. The music was hailed as a critical success and the sextet was generally considered the perfect vehicle for Mulligan; it had four melody voices for the intricate and varied arrangements and still allowed the looseness and interplay of a small group setting.

With the advent of Compact Discs, this wonderful music faded further into obscurity. Only a dozen or so tracks made it to CD and usually only in Japan. Sixty years from the date of inception comes this Mosaic vinyl set with the complete works of the legendary and largely ignored Gerry Mulligan Sextet.
