Gerry Muligan
In the late 1940s, Mulligan worked with the Claude Thornhill band. It was there that he met fellow arranger Gil Evans. Later Mulligan joined with Miles Davis on the ground-breaking album Birth of the Cool. He played baritone sax, wrote Jeru, Venus De Milo, and Rocker, and arranged Godchild and Darn That Dream.
In 1952, Mulligan went to California and formed a combo with Chet Baker. While the group lasted only a year, it was a musical phenomenon.
Over the years, Mulligan (always eager to play) toured and played with Dave Brubeck, Thelonious Monk, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims and a variety of others.
