9 O'Clock Special for 4/6

No baritone saxophonist even achieved such a high degree of visibility or played that big horn with as much grace as Gerry Mulligan. His light and airy style exemplified the era of cool jazz. From his arrangements on Miles Davis' "Birth of the Cool" album to his pianoless quartet with Chet Baker and his Concert Big Band, find out more about this quiet legend tonight. Jazz awakes at 8 on KJZZ.
