by Oliver Nelson with Eric Dolphy

With the assistance of pianist Richard Wyands, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Roy Haynes, the two reedmen battle it out on six compositions (five of Nelson's originals ...

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 ...

by The Modern Jazz Quartet

In typical Fantasy Records aplomb, this four-CD set collects the eight albums which the Modern Jazz Quartet either mentored or collaborated on during their tenure at the commencement and nadir of their reign as jazz's premier chamber ensemble.

Jazz Dialogue

Jazz Dialogue (1965) more music like this

by The Modern Jazz Quartet

This is an unusual record in The Modern Jazz Quartet's discography for it matches The MJQ (vibraphonist Milt Jackson, pianist John Lewis, bassist Percy Heath and drummer Connie Kay) with an all-star big band that is comprised of a dozen horns and guitarist Howard Collins. Unfortunately the orchestra (which has a pretty impressive lineup) is used ...

To Bags with Love: A Tribute to Milt Jackson

To Bags with Love: A Tribute to Milt Jackson (2000) more music like this

by Milt Jackson

Jazz lost more than its share of greats in 1999 -- everyone from Mel Torme, Charlie Byrd, Grover Washington, Jr., Lester Bowie, and Charles Earland to Joe Williams, Art Farmer, Red Norvo, and Horace Tapscott. Another major loss came on October 9, 1999, when Milt "Bags" Jackson died of cancer at the age of 76. Jackson was among the finest jazz ...

Sweet and Lovely

Sweet and Lovely (2004) more music like this

by Junior Mance

In the ‘60s, the terms "soul-jazz" and "organ combo" went hand-in-hand -- frequently, but not always. Although organ combos dominated soul-jazz in the ‘60s, there is another valuable part of ‘60s soul-jazz that isn't discussed quite as much: piano trios led by funky, soulful players like Ray Bryant, Bobby Timmons, Ramsey Lewis, and Gene Harris. ...

by The Modern Jazz Quartet

Spanning one of the few transitional periods for the Modern Jazz Quartet when Connie Kay replaced Kenny Clarke as the group's drummer, The Artistry of the Modern Jazz Quartet covers the years from 1952-1955.

A Proper Introduction to the Modern Jazz Quartet: La Ronde (2002) more music like this

by The Modern Jazz Quartet

Considering the lengthy career of the Modern Jazz Quartet as a working band, their extensive discography, and the many different projects they undertook, providing a definitive or even cursory introduction to their work might be a bit daunting. Still, this collection, with 17 tracks total, is quite the proper introduction to this legendary chamber ...

This is strictly for the budget-conscious. It does have some valuable material, but no anthology can accurately assess Dolphy's importance. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
