11 Theme: Utter Chaos
• This exciting live recording by the Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band held the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium spellbound in October 1960, and shows why the CJB was acclaimed for its unity and cohesion.
• This was a ‘small’ big band, made up of thirteen men, performing according to Mulligan’s very definite ideas, and although studded with stellar names, it was a close-knit team, with Zoot Sims as the featured guest soloist.
• The fine Mosaic box set of the CJB included six of the 19 performances recorded at Santa Monica, but this two-CD set presents the complete concert for the first time ever, with excellent sound quality.
• Personnel: Don Ferrara, Conte Candoli, Nick Travis, Bob Brookmeyer, Gene Quill, Zoot Sims, Gerry Mulligan, Gene Allen, Buddy Clark, Mel Lewis, and many more. 2CD digipak set - 19 tracks - 24-bit digitally remastered - includes a 12-page illustrated booklet with extended notes.

Reviews ForAnd The Concert Jazz Band Santa Monica 1960 (2CD)
Jazzwise - Peter Vacher
Put simply, this is glorious music: shapely, hard-swinging, clever yet never modish, the band caught in Wally Heider's superb live recording at the peak of its powers.,****
Jazz Journal - Gordon Jack
Five stars do not do justice to this CD, which serves as a reminder of what jazz lost when Mulligan disbanded the CJB in 1964 due to lack of bookings,*****
