SKATING IN CENTRAL PARK - MODERN JAZZ QUARTET (audio only)

[twiddledetwee]

Really beautiful music.Ihave been listening to MJQ since 1950s and this still makes me want to cry.

[wyowumin]

Perfect. Just perfect.

[evaibohus]

Ooooooooom det svänger!!!!!!

[SarahWoodOx]

absolutely fantastic - been trying to find this track since 1983. milt jackson has got to be one of the top musicians of the century

[jazzfanjohn]

There was a soundtrack album too: I think this is the same take? Superb.

[mudgkin1]

I think the MJQ is simply the coolest most cerebral group around , no one could swing like these guys !

[ZITuk1]

This tune by MJQ has haunted me since I first heard it in the 1960's. Brilliant. A couple of years ago I was in Central Park New York and the music came flooding back to me. I don't know what it is about it but I love it. By-the-way, in the 1960's I lived in the slums of Greenock in Scotland. This music lifted me out of it. Thanks MJQ.

[MrBrujay]

This is part of the soundtrack music for Odds Against Tomorrow, and excellent film from the late fifties starring Robert Ryan, Harry Belafonte and Ed Begley.

[SOGLIDER]

Music to which to make love.

Please delete the shuffler vs breakdancer crap I posted the wrong one, sorry

[dragerger]

You can see or hear the shiny ice, in a sunny sunday morning. Maybe the most beautiful masterpiece of MJQ and personally Milt Jackson.

[MrDuduche48]

N'est ce pas merveilleux cette douceur de ton et cette harmonie musicale qui détend le corps et l'âme ...Ecoutez et fermez les yeux, c'est magique !!!

[legato1bassman]

This appeared in the early '60s on a MJQ album titled 'Patterns", on the United Artists label. My dad got the album when I was just a puppy. The movie might have been "Odds Against Tomorrow"?

[123must]

Yes this is one of the best but misunertood piece of the M.J.Q.

[bilbostewart]

What is wrong with this clip? Another track superimposed!

I have cd of original.  soundtrack of "Odds against Tomorrow"

[Veranek]

Excuse me, In which album is originally this song?

[holygroove2]

Does anyone know the album where you can hear MJQ on one side and a string quartet on the other side playing classical music?

[BGiora]

i got this record. its Atlantic1345, called "Third stream music- the MJQ & guests. On side 2 they are palying with the Beaux Art String Quartet.

Absolutely brilliant. I first heard this particular piece of music at the end of the film Little Murders back in the seventies. It has taken me all that time to track it down. What wonderful quartet.

[fleurguy]

Tell me you can't see the skating ring now !!

[Kallestina]

Thanks for adding this masterpiece!

[Kallestina]

Tenderly opening the jazz paradise in a waltz for angels...so beautifully served

[altergromit]

I graw up with this music in my ears, thank you!

[aderbo10]

tak..rzeczywiście to jest piękne..zgadzam sie z Dolores..

[DoloresPetersen]

This is so beautiful. I've always been a great fan of MJQ since the late 50s.... what a real authentic class act....and was happy to learn recently that one of the members was a student from my old high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

[jmgibon]

So nice to know that some of us remember when jazz could still be spelled with a capital J.

[fcmilsweeper9]

Win.

[19131915]

Not certain, but according to the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB) the soundtrack to that movie is by John Lewis of the MJQ

[cgyab]

Could someone tell me if this is also part of the soundtrack for the movie "Odds Against Tomorrow" ? Thank you

[zeemann]

Yes,it was written for the movie soundtrack by John Lewis.
