Modern Jazz Quartet - Django/Milano 1950s EP
Price £10.00
Original 1954 EP of two tracks by John Lewis, a pianist who wrote
several jazz standards, including Django – a tribute to Django Reinhardt. Lewis
was a student of European chamber music and in his arrangements he attempted to
blend classical counterpoint and fugue with jazz improvisation. Milt Jackson plays the vibes
to stunning effect on this collectable EP. Together for
40 years, the Modern Jazz Quartet captivated jazz and classical audiences until
the death of their drummer Connie Kay in 1994. Record in good condition and in original, slightly worn, cover.
