  1. A little MJQ earlier this morning. Before I swapped in a new stylus. The second track on the B side “Home” has an awesome groove. Reminds me of Lee Morgan’s Sidewinder. And Bag’s Groove as the final track with the back and forth left and right channel between the piano and vibraphone is a crowd pleaser.

  2. 1964 - Annonces de concerts au Théâtre des Champs-Elysées (Paris):
    Duke Ellington et son Grand Orchestre (en mars) et le Modern Jazz Quartet (en avril)

  3. Gli arrangiamenti di John Lewis sono molto curati e cercano di avvicinare il jazz al repertorio classico. Ho provato ad analizzare il suo brano intitolato "Milano".

  4. John Lewis era un esponente della "terza corrente", cercava di unire musica classica e jazz. Forse questo dibattito non è più interessante, ma la musica rimane superlativa.

  5. John Lewis cerca una sintesi tra progettazione e libertà, parti scritte e parti improvvisate, musica classica e jazz. Secondo voi ci riesce?

  6. Milt Jackson, Ballads & Blues, 1956 on Atlantic

    Jackson’s most well know as the vibraphonist in the Modern Jazz Quartet but he also collaborated and recorded with many other bop musicians. Here he is joined by Lucky Thomson (sax), John Lewis (piano), Skeeter Best (guitar), Oscar Pettiford (bass), Kenny Clarke (drums), Barney Kessel (guitar), Percy Heath (bass), Lawrence Marable (drums), and Barry Gailbraith (guitar). (Lewis and Clarke had […]

  7. John Lewis & Sacha Distel - Afternoon in Paris

    MJQ - Bags + Distel (Guitar) & Wilen (Sax), basically, playing a fun group of tunes. A little weird to have most of MJQ playing Bags' Groove without the titular vibes player, but it works anyway.

    Pristine Sam Records repress in the original style. Pallas did a great job…

  8. The Modern Jazz Quartet - Concert in Japan ‘66

    This is a rare album, only issued in Japan, and only in mono (as it was recorded), 10 years after it was recorded. (Four tracks appear in the MJQ: 40 Years CD box set.)

    It's *well* worth hunting down. Here's some info/background:

    Fantastic performances all around (as you'd expect from MJQ), six weeks before Blues at Carnegie Hall.

  9. Cannonball Adderly (with Bill Evans) - Know What I Mean?

    We do, Mr. Adderly...we do.

    An MJQ/Evans Trio crossover event with Evans on piano (of course), Cannonball as leader on sax (of course) and…Connie Kay on drums with Percy Heath on bass.

    Yes, this is as great as that sounds.

    Recent OJC release, remastered, flat, silent...good stuff.

  10. The Heath Brothers - Paris 76

    Percy Heath from the Modern Jazz Quartet formed this group after the MJQ played it's "last concert" a few years earlier. (Of course, the MJQ got back together.)

    Anyway - this was recently released on SAM records in a limited edition of 3000 and it’s...great.

    Fremer does a better job than I could (with a lot more space) discussing: trackingangle.com/music/the-he

  11. Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

    After listening to the Modern Jazz Quartet the other day, and finding out that Connie Kay played drums on this, its jazziness (and that of a lot of Van's early work) locked in even stronger.

    It's a beautiful record. And this run - Weeks / Moondance / His Band / Tupelo Honey...geez.
