  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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
