Avec le Modern Jazz Quartet, l’élégance des smokings n’est pas incompatible avec le swing, le contrepoint sophistiqué, la polyphonie savante peuvent générer une forte sensation de blues, et chaque soliste improvise avec lyrisme en conservant la rigueur collective d'un ensemble de musique de chambre…
A little MJQ earlier this morning. Before I swapped in a new stylus. The second track on the B side “Home” has an awesome groove. Reminds me of Lee Morgan’s Sidewinder. And Bag’s Groove as the final track with the back and forth left and right channel between the piano and vibraphone is a crowd pleaser.
A Milanese Story (Original Soundtrack) by John Lewis, released in 1962 on Atlantic
From the back cover: "This album is the original soundtrack for the Italian film 'Una Storia Milanese,' directed by Eriprando Visconti, and starring Enrico Thibaut & Danielle Gaubert."
Original Sin (subtitled Music for Ballet Composed by John Lewis) is an album in the third stream genre composed by John Lewis recorded for the Atlantic label in 1961.
The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer criticised the sound balance on the opening track – "it very rapidly becomes a concerto for cymbal and small band" – and condemned the inconsistency of the music: "The first variation of Part 2 is unabridged musical comedy pit band. But the tantalizing thing is that Variation 2 is a clever, self-sustaining, unified, and original little composition. Variation 3 sounds like a fashion show, but Variation 4 is a lovely, light, unpretentious piece, and Variation 5 is simple, stark, and well composed[,] reminiscent of Aaron Copland at his best."
