The Modern Jazz Quartet......SO TERRIFIC!

John Lewis and The Modern Jazz Quartet produce a brand of classic jazz that overwhelms the soul. It is injected with a vigorous dose of jazz finesse that really charms one.

THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTET IN LONDON.....FAB PERFORMANCE!


Wow.....When these fellows play the monumental composition, 'The Golden Striker' the thing is certainly a vivid, knockout number. It has a good kick kind of like the delicious taste of a Papa John's Spinach Alfredo pizza. Lord, this kind of jazz makes me smile.

MARVELOUS JAZZY SOUNDS.....

+++++<+++++ = The Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) puts out big, shiny jazz that enthralls the audience of avid listeners. P.S. GREAT JAZZ HELPS US ALL!

The Modern Jazz Quartet: Big Jazz Power

Classic modern jazz with its soaring, so haunting melodies can fascinate all of us with our yearning for meaning brains. The heady brew that is the jazz music of the strongly potent Modern Jazz Quartet inserts in one a major impact of dollops of musical superior experiences. Listening today to the beautiful sounds of The Modern Jazz Quartet performing 'Django' was so wonderful. Oh and then there was also the fact I enjoyed so much the vivid and sonorous composition with the terrific defined beat...of course I am making reference to the miracle of poignant jazz tunes...the one they call 'Bags Groove.' Indeed, when one listens to the especially super piano work of the great John Lewis and the sophisticated man of the vibes, Milt Jackson of the MJQ then.....it is a so merry and happy world of musical jazz fun we live in.

Modern Jazz Quartet guys fascinate all of us

Grand and so exciting and yes beautiful jazz music moments. Yes, that sums up the joy that is listening to The Modern Jazz Quartet. I listened to their linear, melodious sounds today on this cheerful Saturday before the great joyfulness that is July 4th. I confess hearing the two good jazz standards, 'Django' and 'Round Midnight" were some marvelous listening times. I remember how happy I was hearing the engaging piano work of the creative John Lewis on piano and also it was fascinating hearing the grand vibes playing of the one and only Milt Jackson. This is what jazz is all about because you can tell when you hear the two fine guys--John Lewis and Milt Jackson--well they know so well how to make their improvisations sail across the bridges that are the music's measures. Their music is like seeing burnished gold leaf in an old-time picture frame shop. I love the grand sound that is jazz and I certainly love the superb music of The Modern Jazz Quartet. Enjoy this good Holiday weekend!

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
