Our Take

The Modern Jazz Quartet's "The Montreux Years" is a stylish mediabook package that perfectly encapsulates the group's sophisticated sound and unparalleled musicianship. As you flick through the glossy pages, you can almost hear the smooth melodies and intricate rhythms that defined the quartet's career.

From the opening track to the final note, this album is a masterclass in jazz excellence. Each member of the quartet brings their A-game, with John Lewis's impeccable piano skills leading the way. Milt Jackson's vibraphone adds a touch of whimsy, while Percy Heath and Connie Kay provide the solid foundation that holds it all together.

The live recordings at the Montreux Jazz Festival capture the quartet at the height of their powers, with the audience's applause acting as a testament to their enduring appeal. Tracks like "Django" and "Blues in A Minor" showcase the quartet's ability to blend traditional jazz with their own unique flair.

Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, "The Montreux Years" is a must-have addition to your music collection. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let the Modern Jazz Quartet take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers to that.
