...Pianist Oscar Peterson and his trio gave a fast-fingered version of Tenderly sprinkled with suave dissonances, the modernist crowd was ready to call it the high point of the festival. But the younger set shrieked louder when hollow-cheeked Gerry Mulligan bellowed and coaxed The Lady Is a Tramp through his big baritone sax.
