MODERN JAZZ QUARTET
LA RONDE |  |
Description:
The Modern Jazz Quartet's staying power was unique in the history of modern jazz. From 1952 the MJQ persisted and prospered for more than four decades playing in a restrained conservative bebop style that survived the onslaught of hard bop, rock 'n' roll, free jazz, hard rock, acid rock and any other musical fashion that made inroads into popular music culture during the last 50 years. 17 prime cuts are served up on this CD with the first 9 featuring the line up of Milt Jackson, John Lewis, Percy Heath and Kenny Clarke. The remaining 8 tracks from 1955 feature Connie Kay who had replaced Clarke on drums. This is a perfect starter for those interested in modern jazz and the part the MJQ played in its formative stages. |
