1	Bags and Trane (1959) more music like this by Milt Jackson & John Coltrane Vibraphonist Milt Jackson and tenor saxophonist John Coltrane make for a surprisingly complementary team on this 1959 studio session, their only joint recording. With fine backup by pianist Hank Jones, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Connie Kay, Bags and Trane stretch out on two of Jackson's originals (including "The Late Late Blues") and three ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $9.55!
2	Django (1953) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet Hailing from a trio of Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) sessions, Django (1955) contains some of the earliest sides that Milt Jackson (vibraphone), John Lewis (piano), Percy Heath (bass) and Kenny Clarke (drums) recorded for Prestige Records. Initially, the combo was part of Dizzy Gillespie's influential backing band and after a change in drummers (to ... see all copies from $7.39! new only from $7.39!
3	No Sun in Venice (1957) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet This recording has six John Lewis compositions that were used in the French film No Sun in Venice. The music is quite complex and disciplined, making this set of lesser interest to fans who prefer to hear Milt Jackson playing bebop-oriented blues. However the versatile group was perfect for this type of music and these thought-provoking ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
4	The Modern Jazz Quartet [1951] (1951) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet This double LP (whose contents have been reissued as part of three CDs) has all of the Modern Jazz Quartet's earliest recordings. In addition to vibraphonist Milt Jackson, pianist John Lewis and bassist Percy Heath, the group's original drummer Kenny Clarke is on 12 selections while his replacement Connie Kay is on the remaining six songs. This ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
5	The Big 3 (1975) more music like this by Milt Jackson With Joe Pass and Ray Brown This CD (a straight reissue of the original LP) features a rather notable pianoless combo: vibraphonist Milt Jackson, guitarist Joe Pass, and bassist Ray Brown. These three masterful players recorded together in many settings during the Pablo years, but only this once as a trio. The colorful repertoire (which ranges from "The Pink Panther" and ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
6	Lonely Woman (1962) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet Having sponsored Ornette Coleman at the School of Jazz near Lennox, MA, pianist and composer John Lewis helped launch the controversial career of one of the last great innovators in jazz. Lewis' support of the ragtag Texas native was somewhat unique in jazz circles at the time and even surprising, especially considering the gulf between the ... see all copies from $16.31! new only from $16.31!
7	Fontessa (1956) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet This LP has a particularly strong all-around set by the Modern Jazz Quartet. While John Lewis' "Versailles" and an 11-minute "Fontessa" show the seriousness of the group (and the influence of Western classical music), other pieces (such as "Bluesology," "Woody 'N You" and a pair of ballads) look toward the group's roots in bop and permit the band ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
8	Concorde (1955) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet After issuing 10" EPs for several years, Concorde (1955) marked two significant touchstones in the five-plus-decade career of the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ). One of those was the replacement of co-founder Kenny Clarke (drums) with former Lester Young quintet member Connie Kay (drums), who joined in time for the other hallmark -- this, the MJQ's ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $10.00!
9	Blues on Bach (1973) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet This album has an interesting concept, alternating four original blues with five adaptations of melodies from classical works by Bach. The Modern Jazz Quartet had long been quite adept in both areas, and despite a certain lack of variety on this set (alternating back and forth between the two styles somewhat predictably), the music is largely ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $11.11!
10	Reunion Blues (1971) more music like this by Oscar Peterson/Milt Jackson Pianist Oscar Peterson joins up with his old friends, vibraphonist Milt Jackson and bassist Ray Brown, in addition to his drummer of the period, Louis Hayes, for a particularly enjoyable outing. After a throwaway version of the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," the all-star quartet performs Jackson's title cut, Benny Carter's ballad ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $10.44!
11 view cover	Longing for the Continent (1958) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet The Modern Jazz Quartet is well documented on a number of outstanding labels, though there is only sketchy information about the background of this particular CD. Recorded in 1958 in Europe, probably from one or more radio broadcasts, the group is in top form, though the sound is at times a bit overmodulated. In addition to favorites like John ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $6.63!
12 view cover	The Sheriff (1963) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet Recorded in 1963, The Sheriff features the Modern Jazz Quartet in fine swinging form. The program is not as sharply focused as on some of the earlier Atlantic releases, but it is compelling nonetheless. There are four originals by pianist John Lewis, including the fleeting, bluesy title cut, and the moody, spacious "In a Crowd," -- originally ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $14.02!
13 view cover	Things Are Getting Better (1958) more music like this by Cannonball Adderley With Milt Jackson This title provides ample evidence why Cannonball Adderley (alto sax) is considered one of the masters of his craft. Here he joins forces with Modern Jazz Quartet co-founder Milt Jackson (vibes) to create a variety of sonic atmospheres. They are backed by the all-star ensemble of Wynton Kelly (piano), Percy Heath (bass), and the one and only Art ... see all copies from $6.79! new only from $6.79!
14 view cover	For Ellington (1988) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet This is a tribute album that works quite well. The Modern Jazz Quartet is heard at their best on such Duke Ellington tunes as "Rockin' in Rhythm," "Jack the Bear" and "Ko-Ko." Also quite noteworthy are their two newer pieces, John Lewis's "For Ellington" and Milt Jackson's "Maestro E.K.E." which perfectly capture the spirit of Ellington's music. ... see all copies from $7.54! new only from $15.87!
15 view cover	The Complete Last Concert (1974) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet At the time, this two-record set was viewed as the end of an era. Now it only represents the climax of phase one. It's an excellent set, though -- among their best live efforts. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $28.33! new only from $28.33!
16 view cover	In Concert (1996) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet see all copies from $20.00! new only from $260.75!
17 view cover	Three Windows (1987) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet A date matching The MJQ with the New York Chamber Symphony. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.95! new only from $12.00!
18 view cover	Together Again! (1982) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet This CD reissue features the revived Modern Jazz Quartet during their 30th year (counting a seven-year "vacation"), playing some of their usual repertoire -- such as "Django," "The Cylinder," and "Bags' Groove," which for some reason was renamed "Bags' New Groove" -- before an appreciative audience at the 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival. In reality, ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $17.05!
19 view cover	Very Tall (1961) more music like this by Oscar Peterson with Milt Jackson This first matchup on records between pianist Oscar Peterson and vibraphonist Milt Jackson was so logical that it is surprising it did not occur five years earlier. Originally recorded for Verve and three decades later reissued on this audiophile CD by Mobile Fidelity, the quartet set (which also includes bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen) ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
20 view cover	Quadrant (1977) more music like this by Joe Pass/Milt Jackson/Ray Brown/Mickey Roker Although guitarist Joe Pass was usually heard in unaccompanied settings during his Pablo years, there were occasional departures. In this case, Pass is teamed in a pianoless quartet with vibraphonist Milt Jackson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Mickey Roker. Considering the musicians involved, it's no surprise that the music always swings. The ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
21 view cover	Wizard of the Vibes (1952) more music like this by Milt Jackson The music on Wizard of the Vibes features Milt Jackson with the Thelonious Monk Quartet in a 1948 session combined with a 1952 date with his bandmates from the Modern Jazz Quartet (at that time including John Lewis, Percy Heath, and Kenny Clarke) along with alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson, who was oddly credited as the leader of the date on the ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
22 view cover	Under the Jasmin Tree (1967) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet A more unlikely match of artists and label you will rarely find -- the dignified, classically influenced, indelibly Afro-American Modern Jazz Quartet and the Beatles' Apple Corps, Ltd. But Apple in its Rocking '60s heyday was one of the most daringly eclectic labels on the scene, and as the sole jazz act on the roster, the MJQ was given complete ... see all copies from $60.00!
23 view cover	Big Bags (1962) more music like this by Milt Jackson Vibraphonist Milt Jackson is backed by a big band for this change-of-pace release, reissued on CD along with two alternate takes. The Ernie Wilkins and Tadd Dameron arrangements fit the high-quality standards well and Jackson (who contributed two originals) is in top form. There are short solos for cornetist Nat Adderley, trombonist Jimmy ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.80!
24 view cover	Live at the Lighthouse (1967) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet This fairly obscure LP by the Modern Jazz Quartet features fresh material and improvisations that are both swinging and creative. Pianist John Lewis' "The Spiritual" and "Baseball," along with vibraphonist Milt Jackson's "Novamo" and "For Someone I Love," comprise half the program, and it is Jackson's influence that seems to be the weightier one ... see all copies from $12.16! new only from $13.08!
25 view cover	What's Up?: The Very Tall Band (2007) more music like this by Oscar Peterson/Ray Brown/Milt Jackson Very Tall, the initial 1961 summit that found pianist Oscar Peterson and vibist Milt Jackson combining forces (with Ray Brown on bass), is considered by many to be among the most artistically successful collaborations in the careers of both musicians. A long 37 years later, and despite Peterson's 1993 stroke, all three were still going strong when ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
