Review
by Ken Dryden
Although Gerry Mulligan and Bob Brookmeyer get top billing on this LP, the leader, composer, and arranger of all three compositions is cornetist Phil Sunkel. The full 15-piece band is heard on the nearly 16-minute "Jazz Concerto Grosso," with the full band supporting the solos of Mulligan (baritone sax), Brookmeyer (valve trombone), and the leader. The shorter pieces from the following day's session feature a septet with totally different personnel, except for the three major soloists. All of the music is enjoyable and falls clearly into the cool jazz genre, but it has languished in obscurity like Sunkel, though he was later a member of the acclaimed Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band. This long deleted record will be somewhat difficult to locate.

Reseña
por Ken Dryden
Aunque Gerry Mulligan y Bob Brookmeyer son los protagonistas de este LP, el líder, compositor y arreglista de las tres composiciones es el cornetista Phil Sunkel. La banda completa de 15 músicos se escucha en el "Jazz Concerto Grosso" de casi 16 minutos, con la banda completa apoyando los solos de Mulligan (saxo barítono), Brookmeyer (trombón de válvulas) y el líder. Las piezas más cortas de la sesión del día siguiente presentan un septeto con personal totalmente diferente, excepto los tres solistas principales. Toda la música es agradable y entra claramente en el género del cool jazz, pero ha languidecido en la oscuridad como Sunkel, aunque más tarde fue miembro de la aclamada Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band. Este disco, eliminado hace tiempo, será algo difícil de localizar.
