Title: Sometimes Groups just don't gel
Review: Mulligan was famous for experimenting with various sound combinations, and like Coltrane, was always looking for the "next best perfect sound." While interesting in spots, this session clearly was not it.These compositions are flat, angular, academic, soulless and even obtuse at times. The group never quite got around to meeting each other.This cut, made it clear that it was time for Gerry to go back to the drawing board as he eventually did after this recording session. As an inspired Mulligan fan (see earlier reviews), I can say without a doubt, that there is nothing here I can recommend. Two stars
