Absolutely beautiful:
The soul and the depth that Mulligan, Brookmyer, Farmer and Hall exude is awe inspiring. The recording is very mellow. The tempos range from kinda slow to really slow. But the playing has such intense feeling; it just cuts right through you. When I finish listening to this cd, I feel like crying. Not because the playing is so melancholy, but because I don't believe that I'll ever hear something so deep and beautiful as this recording. This is as good as it gets.
GORGEOUS MUSIC!!!:
Mulligan was one of my favorite musicians. Not only the BEST on baritone, but an incredible writer and extraordinary arranger. On Night Lights, you have the "mellow" Mulligan refined and distilled to his best. And Art Farmer & Bob Brookmeyer are so "perfect". I used to hear them all, live, and only Brookmeyer still survives. Timeless and beautiful music that will be enjoyed forever.
Great Music:
I saw this recommended in an essential list compiled by NPR. Art Farmer as a side man was enough of a hook, but after listening to this music, I'm looking at Mulligan's other recordings. This is a beautiful piece of work.

Absolute Beautiful Jazz !!!:
Just got it for a month and never stopped listening to it. It is one of the best smooth Jazz I've ever heard! 100% recommended.
