The Modern Jazz Quartet - The Last Concert
Spoiler alert: it wasn't the last concert. But they didn't get back together until 1981 after they broke up in 1974, and then continued until Bags' death in 1999.
They're playing like it's for the last time, recapping many of their classics with lots of energy and verve. Avery Fisher Hall is a great venue, too, and the recording is excellent.
A must-have.

Now spinning at my house, a cool oddity:
Space, by #TheModernJazzQuartet...wherein these jazz legends on piano, vibes, bass & drums released a 1969 album on #AppleRecords, courtesy of #TheBeatles! Perhaps more cosmic in places than usual, it still swings & enchants with elegance
