Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating under their original moniker, this foundational release introduced the elegant, highly structured aesthetic of what would become the Modern Jazz Quartet. Milt Jackson's blues-drenched vibraphone interacts seamlessly with John Lewis's classical-leaning, contrapuntal piano arrangements. The sessions successfully bridged the aggression of bebop with the dignified restraint of the cool jazz movement.
