Art Farmer - Trumpet
Bill Crow - Bass
Dave Bailey - Drums

From Billboard - April 6, 1959: Gerry Mulligan bows his new quartet with A. Farmer, B. Crow and D. Bailey, with happy results on this new waxing. Mulligan is playing in the happy, attractive style that makes him a pleasure to listen to and Farmer's fine and conservative trumpet work makes a perfect complement for Mulligan. It's quiet, meaningful jazz that flows continually and easily. Tunes include a group of standards and some originals with "Just In Time" and "My Funny Valentine," two of the best tracks. This should be a strong seller.
