About this album

Night Lights is one of Gerry Mulligan’s most elegant cool jazz statements, balancing understatement with a strong melodic sense. Issued in 1963, it presents Mulligan’s baritone sax in a more intimate, nocturnal setting, with the title piece and interpretations such as “Morning Of The Carnival” showing his gift for turning familiar material into something supple and distinctive. Associated with the laid-back West Coast jazz style, the album reflects Mulligan’s clear tone, refined phrasing and command of atmosphere without ever losing swing. It stands as a compact showcase for his writing, arranging instincts and enduring influence on modern jazz.
