2 CD set. It took five years of hesitation waltzes, trial and error proceedings some more convincing than others and episodic revivals in the month preceding that first session, the MJQ was at Birdland with Parker, before the identity of the group, both material and aesthetic, could assert itself definitively. There have been more spontaneous births, but none, however, engendered a combo whose members stayed so loyal to each other for so long. Altogether, it lasted around thirty two years, but actually corresponded to two periods separated by a seven year hiatus.

The Modern Jazz Quartet was established in 1952 by Milt Jackson (vibraphone), John Lewis (piano, musical director), Percy Heath (contrabass), and Kenny Clarke (drums). Connie Kay replaced Clarke in 1955. The quartet performed in several jazz styles, including bebop, cool jazz and third stream.
