One of a few ‘new’ albums I received today. This is one I didn’t even know about prior.
** The Modern Jazz Quartet - The Modern Jazz Quartet & Orchestra. Atlantic, originally released 1961, this is a reissue, probably from the late 60’s to early 70’s given its label.
I have Three Windows, also with orchestra, but this is also very interesting, and much earlier. Gunther Schiller conducted the orchestra on all but one (and composed side two - ‘Concerto for Jazz Quartet and Orchestra’), that was conducted by Werner Heider. No mention on who the orchestra was, exactly.
Nice addition to my MJQ collection.
