Our Take

The Modern Jazz Quartet's latest album "The Comedy / Lonely Woman" is a rollercoaster of emotions and musical genius that will have you laughing, crying, and tapping your toes all at the same time.

From the opening track, "The Comedy," it's clear that these jazz legends know how to keep things light and entertaining. With playful piano melodies, groovy bass lines, and infectious drum rhythms, this track is the perfect soundtrack for a night of good times and laughter.

But don't be fooled by the title - this album has its serious side too. The hauntingly beautiful "Lonely Woman" is a melancholic masterpiece that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you feeling all the feels. With its melancholic saxophone solos and anguished piano chords, this track is a poignant reminder of the bittersweet nature of life.

Overall, the Modern Jazz Quartet have delivered a stunning album that showcases their incredible talent and versatility. Whether you're in the mood for some light-hearted fun or deep introspection, "The Comedy / Lonely Woman" has something for everyone. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Pitchfork Rating: 9.0
