Our Take

Jazzy wazzy, let's get snazzy! The MODERN JAZZ QUARTET is back with a bang, bringing us not one, not two, not three, but FOUR classic albums in one sweet package. Whether you're a hardcore jazz aficionado or just a curious listener looking to expand your musical horizons, this collection is sure to tickle your fancy.

First up is the self-titled debut album, a dynamic blend of bebop and cool jazz that showcases the Quartet's incredible musicianship and tight-knit chemistry. Tracks like "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise" and "Bags' Groove" will have you grooving in no time.

Next, we have Django, a tribute to the legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt. The Quartet's reimagining of Reinhardt's gypsy jazz style is both respectful and innovative, making for an unforgettable listening experience.

Fontessa, the third album in the collection, is where the Quartet truly shines. From the bouncy rhythms of "Versailles" to the hauntingly beautiful "Willow Weep for Me," every track is a gem that showcases the Quartet's versatility and creativity.

And finally, we have The Modern Jazz Quartet At Music Inn, a live recording that captures the Quartet's infectious energy and improvisational prowess. It's a fitting end to a stellar collection that proves why the MODERN JAZZ QUARTET is a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let the good times roll.
