No Binding. Condition: Near Fine. Hannah, Jonny. Mr Gerry Mulligan. Cakes & Ale Press, 2008. Large original signed colour screenprint by Jonny Hannah, measuring 51.7 × 71.8 cm, produced in a notably small edition of only 25 impressions, this example number 13/25, signed and dated 2008 by Hannah in pencil and carrying the Cakes & Ale Press imprint. The subject is the influential American jazz saxophonist, composer and arranger Gerry Mulligan (1927-1996), one of the defining baritone saxophonists of post-war jazz and a major figure in the development of cool jazz; Mulligan contributed arrangements to the sessions later collected as Miles Davis's Birth of the Cool and subsequently formed his celebrated pianoless quartet with trumpeter Chet Baker, a partnership directly acknowledged in Hannah's inclusion of the words "Chet & Gerry". Rather than producing a conventional portrait, Hannah constructs an affectionate visual biography from clothing, typography and fragments of musical culture: a large pale-blue jacket and tie dominate the centre, accompanied by a substantial shoe and playful hand-lettered observations including "He wore jackets like this" and "He wore shoes like this. FACT.", together with Mulligan's name, decorative lettering and small graphic details. Printed in powder blue, coral-red, dark blue-black, cream and tan on a warm buff sheet, the composition recalls the graphic world surrounding mid-century jazz — record sleeves, club posters, advertising, tailoring and printed ephemera — while remaining unmistakably Hannah's own. The unusually restricted edition of 25, substantial size and strong jazz subject give the work particular collector appeal. Very good to excellent condition overall, with strong colour, only light natural handling and minor paper irregularity, and the pencil signature, date and edition number 13/25 remaining clear.
