LIVE IN PARIS 1960-61

With its blend of swing, bop, cool and soul jazz, the classically inspired Modern Jazz Quartet, or MJQ, is probably one of the most famous jazz quartets in history and, driven by vibraphonist Milt Jackson and pianist John Lewis, the group reached its artistic heights in the Sixties. Worshipped throughout the world for its elegant music, the MJQ played jazz with a smooth exterior but devastating swing… Taken from concerts played in their tours in 1960 and ‘61, this 3CD set contains unreleased material by a quartet of legend.
