About this pressing

Released in 1957 on Atlantic Records, The Modern Jazz Quartet captures the ensemble’s refined blend of cool jazz, chamber music elegance, and swinging interplay. With Milt Jackson (vibraphone), John Lewis (piano), Percy Heath (bass), and Connie Kay (drums), the MJQ established themselves as one of the most distinctive groups in jazz.

The album balances sophistication and warmth, from the blues-inflected The Golden Striker to lyrical standards and intricate originals. Jackson’s shimmering vibes and Lewis’s poised piano playing create a sound that is graceful, disciplined, yet full of subtle fire.

Polished, stylish, and timeless, The Modern Jazz Quartet is a perfect entry point into the group’s catalogue and a classic example of their unique chamber-jazz approach.
