Free Music Review: The True Holy Liturgy
Hit: 5 Stars
Jazz is many things to many minds. MJQ's music, such as this fine double, occupies the very hightest strata of musical nourishment. The compositions of John Lewis, represented here, have guided this listener through personal and national calamity & grace equally. Their music is in my bones. The swinging is so sublime. Their tonal pictures are soft and easy through the changes. This particular album is for me nearly tied for first. That would be their European Concert done weeks earlier in Scandinavia. May they soothe the Collective Soul forever.
Dedicated to Connie Poster
This two-disc set was released in 1995 following the death of drummer Connie Kay, and it's a superb commemoration of the Modern Jazz Quartet at their creative peak, a 1960 concert in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from the same tour that produced the equally memorable European Concert. By 1960, the group had gelled superbly, and much of their essential, original repertoire was in place, including John Lewis's composition "Odds Against Tomorrow," the moody and profound theme from a film score, and the light, baroque-influenced pieces "Colombine" and "Pulcinella." What stands out is the acute consciousness of sound, in Kay's sparkling drumming and Percy Heath's warmly resonant bass, as well as Lewis's piano and Milt Jackson's vibraphone. There's a superb economy of means practiced by the entire band, with scarcely a superfluous note in the two hours of music heard here. The treatments of standards are as memorable as the originals. --Stuart BroomerJazz Music CDs
