Modern Jazz Quartet: 40th Anniversary Tour
TDK presents yet another concert highlight from this famous quartet - certainly one of the most longstanding groups in jazz: The Modern Jazz Quartet. After their live recording in Freiburg at the legendary Zelt-Musikfestival in 1987, this DVD shows quite a different side of the MJQ: On tour for their 40th Anniversary, the four jazz giants stopped in Stuttgart for the "Jazz Gipfel" 1992, where they were joined by the Arcata chamber orchestra, directed by Patrick Strub. As Pianist John Lewis? compositions had long been influenced by his affinity for the so-called "Third Stream" between jazz and classical music, this seemed an apt celebration. The MJQ existed from 1952 to 1974, and again from 1981 to 1995. Over the years it took such deep root in the consciousness of jazz fans that, quite irrationally, one could believe in the immortality of its members. The past few years have proved us wrong: all four members of the quartet have died, the last was Percy Heath in 2005. The fortieth anniversary of the Modern Jazz Quartet in 1992 was celebrated all round the world. Long-serving drummer Connie Kay was sadly missing on the occasion. By 1992 he was already seriously ill and had to be replaced by Mickey Roker on the tour. However, the renowned Philadelphian drummer, who had partnered all the jazz greats, including Dizzy Gillespie, fit in perfectly with the other three.
