Of course they could swing fast and hard, with Milt Jackson on vibes as the turbo-charged engine, but they were also balanced by John Lewis' cerebral classical touch. Check out this delicate and beautiful ballad, "Cortege."

Teenage memories growing up in London in the sixties.
One of my all-time favourite albums that reminds of the small Day school I attended in South Kensington after my mother removed me from a brutal boarding school I endured for three years until she finally decided, enough was enough.To this day, I thank my lucky stars I got to spend time at More House.

I have a large collection of MJQ LPs that are very hard to find these days.
I also have the Mosaic Records set entitled "The Complete Atlantic Records Studio Recordings of the Modern Jazz Quarter 1956-1964" in CD which fills the gaps in that collection.
It's long out of print but, if you don't have it and if you're interested, copies of it are available for purchase on eBay and on discogs.

I am sure #bach would have appreciated this performance of the aria from the orchestral suite #3 (bwv1068). Beautifully rendered by the #mjq and the Swingle Singers. https://youtu.be/27yhOfa2bys #jsbach
