Our Take

The MODERN JAZZ QUARTET have truly outdone themselves with this collection of Four Classic Albums. From the first smooth notes to the last swinging beat, this compilation is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast.

"Odds Against Tomorrow" kicks things off with its infectious melodies and impeccable instrumentation. The quartet's chemistry is undeniable, weaving in and out of intricate solos with ease. It's like a musical conversation that you never want to end.

Moving on to "Fontessa," the mood shifts to a more introspective tone. The interplay between piano, vibes, bass, and drums is nothing short of magical. Each track tells a story, drawing you in with its emotional depth and subtle nuances.

"Pyramid" brings a sense of adventure and exploration to the table. The group's creativity knows no bounds, as they push the boundaries of traditional jazz with their innovative arrangements and fearless improvisation. It's a musical journey that you'll want to experience again and again.

Finally, "Django" closes out the collection on a high note. The quartet pays tribute to the legendary Django Reinhardt with their own unique interpretations of his classic compositions. It's a fitting end to a remarkable journey through the world of modern jazz.

Overall, MODERN JAZZ QUARTET's Four Classic Albums is a testament to the timeless quality of their music.
