The epitome of modern jazz, imbued with a cinematic sound.
Gerry Mulligan's rich baritone saxophone tones weave a dramatic story.
This re-arranged soundtrack from the film "I Don't Want to Die" vividly portrays the shadows of a city night. His intellectual arrangements and the refined sensibility of cool jazz give the music a sophisticated elegance. The ensemble, in which the individuality of each player harmonizes, evokes a cinematic emotion even without the visuals.
