Composed and arranged by Gerry Mulligan
Walkin' Shoes is Gerry Mulligan's own chart on his famous tune, arranged for the Stan Kenton band. Recordings of the Kenton band performing this chart are somewhat rare. This one is from a 1959 live date in Ukiah, CA.
Personnel: Stan Kenton (piano); Lennie Niehaus (alto saxophone); Bill Trujillo (tenor saxophone); Billy Root (baritone saxophone, bass saxophone); Sture Swenson (baritone saxophone); Joe Burnett, Johnny Richards, Rolf Ericson, Bud Brisbois, Roger Middleton, Jim Amlotte (trumpet); Bill Smiley, Jimmy Knepper, Kent Larsen, Archie LeCoque, John Bonnie (trombone); Jerry Lestock McKenzie (drums). The bassist is probably Red Kelly, although it may be Scott LaFaro, who was also playing with Kenton during this time. Recording information: County Fair Building Ukiah, CA (02/26/1959).
Here is an early version of this cool school staple by the famous, pianoless Gerry Mulligan Quartet with Chet Baker.
Personnel: Gerry Mulligan (bari sax), Chet Baker (trumpet), Bob Whitlock (bass), Chico Hamilton (drums)
