Butterfly with hiccups

Bought this Gerry Mulligan original pressing from Limelight (LM-82004 Mono) in good shape and have been enjoying it very much. Got it also quite cheap if compared to the official value charts of the old collector LPs. The title and the drawing at the cover is also really nice. Like it a lot.

And finally some details of the "Butterfly with hiccups" taken from the Mercury records collection web site:

Most of the tunes are from the same sessions as the famous album ?Night Light? (Philips PHM 200-108 / PHS 600-108), and this LP is also excellent. It's full of beautiful, lazy and moody plays. Gerry Mulligan, who prefered pianoless combo in his many recordings, plays piano by himself in this recording. It's another interesting point.

Tracks from 1963 sessions (A-1, A-4, B-1, B-4) are performed by the Sextet featuring Art Farmer and Jim Hall, while those of 1964 sessions (A-2, A-3, B-2, B-3) by the Quartet.
