Saxophonist Allison Young returns to Nocturne and pays tribute to the great baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan with her quartet (Kate Williams - trumpet, Domi Edson - bass, and Ian Spillman - drums). The Allison Young Quartet captures the essence of the west coast/cool jazz chordless quartet with a lively mix of Mulligan hits, Chet Baker tunes as well as lesser known compositions.
