Getz Meets Mulligan in Hi-Fi is the 1957 Verve Records album featuring jazz saxophonists Stan Getz and Gerry Mulligan, showcasing a unique first-time collaboration where they traded instruments, with Getz playing baritone sax and Mulligan playing tenor sax on the initial tracks. The session was produced by Norman Granz and featured a stellar rhythm section including pianist Lou Levy, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Stan Levey. 

Mulligan always seems to open up whole new sides of his playing when sharing the leader spotlight with another star — and here, in the company of Getz, he hits a shimmering, sparkling sound that's really great, and filled with feeling. Getz is wonderful too — very much in his best mid '50s Verve period — working in a groove that's deep and laidback, with a strong undercurrent of warmth — thanks to familiar rhythm backing from the trio of Lou Levy on piano, Ray Brown on bass, and Stan Levey on drums. Titles include "Anything Goes," "Ballad," and "That Old Feeling."
