Gerry Mulligan Centennial:
Mulligan and Me
About the Concert
Mulligan and Me is a vivid, deeply personal centennial tribute to the brilliant baritone saxophonist and composer Gerry Mulligan (1927–1996), music directed by Ted Nash—Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra alumnus and longtime Mulligan collaborator and protégé—and featuring current JLCO baritone saxophonist Paul Nedzela. Conceived by writer Iris Dart (Beaches) as a play with music about Mulligan’s creative partnership with actress and singer Judy Holliday in the 1960s, this work, directed by Rachel Dart, blends storytelling and performance into an intimate portrait of a profoundly important jazz innovator and American cultural icon. Audiences will be captivated by the rare combination of live jazz, theatrical narrative, and Mulligan’s inventiveness and charm, experiencing up close the artistry that helped define an important movement in modern jazz.
