This is a strong recording from
the Modern Jazz Quartet, with inventive versions of
John Lewis' "Vendome,"
Ray Brown's "Pyramid,"
Jim Hall's "Romaine," and
Lewis' famous "Django," along with cooking jams on "How High the Moon" and "It Don't Mean a Thing."
The MJQ had become a jazz institution by this time, but they never lost their creative edge, and their performances (even on the remakes) are quite stimulating, enthusiastic, and fresh.
