Butterfly with Hiccups is a 1964 jazz album by baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, released on the Limelight label. The album showcases Mulligan's signature cool jazz style, blending lyrical improvisation with a relaxed, swinging rhythm. Recorded in New York City between 1963 and 1964, the sessions feature an impressive lineup, including Art Farmer on flugelhorn, Bob Brookmeyer on valve trombone, Jim Hall on guitar, Bill Crow on bass, and Dave Bailey on drums. The tracklist includes original compositions like the playful title track Butterfly with Hiccups and The Ant Hill, as well as interpretations of standards such as You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To and Old Devil Moon. The album's light, airy feel, occasionally infused with bossa nova influences, reflects Mulligan's evolving approach in the 1960s, moving beyond the more academic tones of his earlier work. While not as widely known as some of his other recordings, Butterfly with Hiccups remains a charming and accessible entry in Mulligan's discography, appreciated for its subtle interplay and melodic sophistication.
