Gerry%2BMulligan%2B-%2BMulligan%2BMeets%

MULLIGAN MEETS MONK - Thelonius Monk, Gerry Mulligan, Wilbur Ware, Shadow Wilson. Riverside/Victor Japan LP.

Who benefited more from this meet-up?

I did, for sure. :)

i think this is much better than many would have you believe. At least I like it.

And check out the Wilbur Ware's solo on "Decidedly" - the mono take, if I remember correctly. It's one of the great, odd bass solos in jazz. It's basically a "walking" solo, but at some point he turns the beat around so that he's walking on the upbeats.

Rendell/Carr Quintet 'Dusk Fire' (UK Columbia, mono)

Lovely album! I just have the Japanese pressing on Philips but it's in stereo and not a single crack or pop to be heard so I won't complain too much ;)

Never heard a copy of the the Japanese reissue LP - only the BGO CD, which sounds pretty good to my ears. Fortunately, this copy was bought before prices hit the stratosphere.

The UK London issue. I had this at one time.

I like the US version because I enjoy seeing contemporary pictures of jazz players, here Monk and Mulligan. They are sort of erased from the UK version (I wonder why, but it is interesting to see how the cover varies, so thanks indeed for posting it).

Along with the question: Who benefited most from this meet-up?, one could have an interesting little contest: "Please provide a caption for this photo (on the US edition)." Clearly something is being discussed; seems like Monk is putting something forth and Mulligan is considering it.
