Modern Jazz Quartet - Original Album Series - 5CD-BOX 2012 torrent

While John Coltrane was immersed in New York’s studios and clubs, the Modern Jazz Quartet, under the leadership of pianist John Lewis, enjoyed commercial success exploring the fugues and canons of classical music.

This basically packaged collection brings together five of their best Atlantic recordings, including The Pyramid and Third Stream Music. And they stand up remarkably well. Lewis’s light, bluesy touch is balanced by Milt Jackson’s soulful vibes, Percy Heath is one of the great jazz bass players, and there’s grit beneath the surface.
