{|The Modern Jazz Quartet|} never actually recorded for Blue Note but their United Artists date was reissued on this Blue Note CD. {|The MJQ|} (vibraphonist {|Milt Jackson|}, pianist {|John Lewis|}, bassist {|Percy Heath|} and drummer {|Connie Kay|}) perform six of {|Lewis|}'s compositions which were used in the film {|Odds Against Tomorrow|}. Best known is {|Skating in Central Park|} but all of the selections have their memorable moments and it is good to hear this classic unit playing such fresh material. ~ Scott Yanow Less
