Line for Lyons (Gerry Mulligan) Featuring Leon Boykins and Nick FInzer - YouTube

Written By Nick Finzer

My friend bassist Leon Boykin (have you checked out Leon’ projects yet? http://www.leonboykins.com) and I got together again this fall to record a few more duets to share! 

This is a Gerry Mulligan masterpiece originally performed by Gerry and Chet Baker - Line for Lyons! This is a beautiful example of great jazz counterpoint. Check out how the lines trade back and forth, up and down, it is just beautiful! I hope to can write such nice counterpoint someday...

Hope you enjoy!
