The Modern Jazz QuartetThe Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) was an American jazz ensemble founded in 1952, known for its blend of classical music influences with elements of jazz, including cool jazz, blues, and bebop. The group, comprised of John Lewis (piano), Milt Jackson (vibraphone), Percy Heath (double bass), and various drummers, notably Kenny Clarke and Connie Kay, gained acclaim for their sophisticated sound and elegant performances. They were pioneers in bringing jazz to concert halls and created several influential recordings, including "Django" and "Bags' Groove." Active until 1997, they left a lasting legacy in the jazz world, characterized by their unique style and presentation. (Source: Wikipedia)
