The Modern Jazz Quartet with New York Chamber Symphony - Three Windows flac album

The Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) was a jazz combo established in 1952 that played music influenced by classical, cool jazz, blues and bebop. For most of its history the Quartet consisted of John Lewis (piano), Milt Jackson (vibraphone), Percy Heath (double bass), and Connie Kay (drums). The group grew out of the rhythm section of Dizzy Gillespie's big band from 1946 to 1948, which consisted of Lewis and Jackson along with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Kenny Clarke.

The material includes three fairly recent originals plus "Three Windows" (which blends together three themes from Lewis's score for the French film No Sun in Venice) and the perennial "Django. Nice music overall although this is not one of the most essential MJQ releases.
