GA Russell Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 RIP. I first heard his work with the Mulligan/Baker Mosaic box, and still connect him in my mind with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 R.I.P. This kind of news rarely inspires me to have a listen, but in this case I pulled out the Mulligan-Baker Mosaic. The right man at the right place at the right time, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danasgoodstuff Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 mjzee: Do the math, the Bobby Whitlock who played on D & the Ds was born in 1948, he would have been kneehigh to a grasshopper when the Mulligan Quartet sides were recorded.

Justin V Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Inexplicably and indefensibly, despite being a Baker and Mulligan fan, I still don't have the original Mulligan quartet sides (yet I have two later reunion discs). I do like Whitlock's playing with Chet Baker's quartet, and that Marc Meyers interview was an interesting read. Rest in peace, Mr. Whitlock, and thank you for the music.

BillF Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 This EP (with Whitlock pictured on the right) loomed large in my final year at school (1957-58) when we didn't have much money to buy records and there weren't many to buy anyway. There was also a significant time lapse between American recording and availabilty in Britain, so that these 1952 tracks were still hot stuff at the time.
