Love this so much and " Modern Jazz Quartet" which I have never heard until now! Very classy and elegant to watch. But besides playing this kind of blues which is what I am used to, I came across"Around The Blues" and "Concertino's for Jazz Quartet and was swept away! The magnificent and totally different type of jazz combined with surprises through out each song was something, but it was the mixture of the instruments coming from every section that was amazing, and left me in wonderment!

Connie Kay wears the sunglsses, had me confused at first

I know Lewis is the leader of the group, but on a lot of these live performances when he comps in back of Milt, he is overmiked. I want to hear the vibes and Milt's solos, not John's soporific comping. He has his own solos..lDon't cover up the Great Bags!!!!
