(Gerald) (1927-) US jazz saxophonist, arranger, and composer. Spanning the bebop and cool jazz movements, he worked with trumpeter Miles Davis on the seminal Birth of the Cool album 1950 and led his own quartet from 1951, which briefly featured Chet Baker on trumpet.
Born in New York but based in Los Angeles from 1952, Mulligan is chiefly associated with the West Coast jazz style. An outstanding baritone-sax player, he has worked with many great names in jazz, including bandleader Stan Kenton (for whom he wrote arrangements) and pianist Thelonius Monk.
