What's New Today?

Wilma would like to thank the DPS Class 67 for remembering her on her special day.

Thanks too, to our frequent contributors, Ed C and Bing CH. With their contributions, I have a reserve of articles for posting. I just hope, there'll be enough free time to be able to do daily updates.


We're organizing a small get-together for Marybeth and Willy before they go back to the US. It seems though, that most of the Manila-based members are busy, so we'll just have lunch on Monday in one of the restaurants at the Greenbelt. Let's just make the most out of the limited time. See you!

Mulligan was an important baritone saxophonist and one of the best-known exponents of cool jazz, a delicate, understated offshoot of bebop. He began his career in the mid-1940s as an arranger for Gene Krupa and Claude Thornhill and played on the historic Miles Davis nonet recordings in 1949. He gained considerable success with the quartet he formed with Chet Baker in 1952, and he led ensembles of various sizes thereafter. Mulligan served jail time after he was arrested in 1953 for what?
