Pyramid ‎(CD, Album, RE, Dig). Atlantic, Warner Jazz, Warner Strategic Marketing. 30 011. The Modern Jazz Quartet. Pyramid ‎(LP, Album).

This is a strong recording from the Modern Jazz Quartet, with inventive versions of John Lewis' "Vendome," Ray Brown's "Pyramid," Jim Hall's "Romaine," and Lewis' famous "Django," along with cooking jams on "How High the Moon" and "It Don't Mean a Thing. The MJQ had become a jazz institution by this time, but they never lost their creative edge, and their performances (even on the remakes) are quite stimulating, enthusiastic, and fresh.

5 Modern Jazz Quartet albums originally on Atlantic - 3 in their straight-ahead (for them, anyway) vein, and the other 2 working in their "third stream" (the attempt to blend jazz and classical music that had a brief run in this period).

This album has an average beat per minute of 118 BPM (slowest/fastest tempos: 94/168 BPM). Bluesology the Modern Jazz Quartet Anthology the Atlantic Years 1956 - 1988. The Comedy, Lonely Woman.
