1.Blues on Bach by: Modern Jazz Quartet September 23, 2002

This is the coolest record I've ever heard: it can sooth you no matter how wound up you get. The Modern Jazz Quartet, playing keyboards, vibraharp, double-bass and percussion have produced this little album of nine separate tracks. Each track is based on a tune, mostly from the works of Bach (though there are a couple of new ones), which is developed into about single length. They capture completely in spirit what the composer Bach has come to mean to a modern audience - both the serenity and the emotional depth. I'm sure I've heard these tracks more than once as movie scores (or at least the scores were heavilly influenced by them). The only annoying detail is the occasional use of sleigh bells, which can ... Read More:

2.The Last Concert by: Modern Jazz Quartet May 29, 1995

This was actually one of the first (proper) jazz records I ever heard and I have recently bought it on CD. The MJQ were a strange outfit because many thought the format wouldn,t work (no horns, two similar sounding instruments - vibes and piano, playing Bach! and Christmas carols!!). However, my recent listening of this lovely recording only serves to reinforce the thoughts I had when I first heard it. These guys can swing but they do it with such an effortless grace that you actually feel yourself moving along with them. The CD also contains some classic jazz standards (Round Midnight, Night in Tunisia) that listeners new to jazz will find accessible - Night in Tunisia is my all time favourite example of pianist John Lewis's effortless way ...

4.The Dream Band, Vol. 5: Big Cat by: Terry Gibbs October 29, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £15.49 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.77
This is a great CD by a bunch of fine musicians having one hell of a blast! Recorded live in 1961, with arrangements by Al Cohn and Bill Holman, Gibbs leads the band of Hollywood players through some great tunes such as the opener 'Tico Tico' (featuring a fine solo by the tortured soul of trombonist Frank Rosolino) and others such as Parker's 'Billie's Bounce' which must be heard to be believed! There are some great musicians here aside from the under-rated Rosolino - Al Porcino and Conte Candoli on trumpets, tenor men Richie Kamuca and Bill Perkins, alto players Joe Maini and Charlie Kennedy, as well as Mel Lewis on drums. I love it!

This album is just so much fun - you can tell they enjoyed recording it together. The tracks (especially the title track) just put you in the right mood. This is an 'equally matched' album in the sense that they all (including Wynton Kelly and Art Blakey) get their fair share of the limelight with fantastic solos. A real 'feelgood' top quality album.
