This somewhat forgotten studio session finds Gerry Mulligan, 25 years after he first acheived fame with his quartet, playing six of his fairly recent compositions along with a version of "Waltzing Mathilda." With vibraphonist Dave Samuels and a four-piece rhythm section accompanying him, Mulligan performs such songs as "Walk on the Water," "Idol Gossip" and "Strayhorn 2;" the latter a reworking of his "Song for Strayhorn." Jeru proves to still be in prime form and plays a bit of soprano sax on this date along with his distinctive baritone. ~ Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/idol-gossip-mw0000627325

Personnel: Gerry Mulligan (soprano saxophone, baritone saxophone); Mike Santiago, Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar); Hank Jones , Tom Fay (piano); Lionel Hampton, Dave Samuels (vibraphone); Grady Tate, Bobby Rosengarden (drums); Candido Camero (congas).
