Our Take

The Modern Jazz Quartet's latest offering, "Django," is a delightful romp through the realms of jazz that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time. Drawing inspiration from the legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt, the quartet has crafted a collection of tunes that blend traditional jazz with a modern twist.

From the opening notes of "Django," it's clear that the Modern Jazz Quartet are masters of their craft. The interplay between John Lewis on piano, Milt Jackson on vibes, Percy Heath on bass, and Connie Kay on drums is nothing short of mesmerising. Their chemistry is evident in every note, with each member trading solos and complementing each other's playing effortlessly.

Tracks like "One Bass Hit" and "Romain" showcase the Quartet's ability to swing with precision and finesse. The intricate arrangements and complex rhythms keep the listener on their toes, never quite sure where the music will take them next. But fear not, as the Quartet's expert musicianship will guide you through every twist and turn with ease.

Overall, "Django" is a testament to the Modern Jazz Quartet's enduring legacy in the world of jazz music. With their impeccable musicianship, infectious energy, and undeniable chemistry, this album is a must-listen for jazz fans old and new alike. So grab your beret, pour yourself a glass of fine wine, and let the Modern Jazz Quartet transport you to a world of swinging tunes and smooth grooves. Cheers!
