Recorded over several days in 1958 and 1959, What Is There To Say? is one of the finest Cool Jazz records you'll ever hear. Teaming up as a quartet, baritone sax-player Mulligan and co. play 8 tunes, featuring Art Farmer on trumpet, Bill Crow on bass and Dave Bailey on drums.
His last 'pianoless' album, this record oozes the fun and laid-back vibe that must have permeated the studio during these sessions. Mulligan himself writes in the liner notes: '... maybe we could launch a little enthusiasm and restore fun to its rightful place in jazz'. Cats, get hip to this!
