About the event
The Gerry Mulligan-Chet Baker Quartet revolutionized jazz in 1952 with its piano-less, counterpoint-driven style. Mulligan’s compositions and Baker’s natural interplay created the foundation of the West Coast sound. Their recordings, like “Bernie’s Tune,” showcased simplicity, subtlety, and innovation, defining cool jazz.
This exciting session includes Gethin Liddington, who studied at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama between 1989 and 1993 and now teaches trumpet there.
His versatility and wide experience has seen him working with a number of top musicians, including (to name a few) the Syd Lawrence Orchestra, Pasadena Roof Orchestra, Blue Harlem, Keith Tippett, Paula Gardiner Katherine Jenkins and the Welsh National Opera.
He has also performed on radio and TV sessions, as well as featuring on film soundtracks.
