While John Lewis' \"Versailles\" and an 11-minute \"Fontessa\" show the seriousness of the group (and the influence of Western classical music), other pieces (such as \"Bluesology,\" \"Woody 'N You\" and a pair of ballads) look toward the group's roots in bop and permit the band to swing hard. » AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e« As members of Dizzy Gillespie’s big band, John Lewis and Milt Jackson were establishing a reputation as premier jazz instrumentalists. John Lewis was revered for his inclination toward classical music and its organic integration with jazz. Milt Jackson was a fierce instrumentalist, inspired by bebop. After forming the John Lewis Quartet in 1952, the beginning of a four-decade prominence on the jazz scene was launched. Eventually, the “final” lineup was established with the addition of Percy Heath and Connie Kay. Under the name Modern Jazz Quartet, the ensemble were adept at recording their own albums (on various labels) and collaborating with a variety of jazz icons (Ben Webster, Jimmy Giuffre, Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins), Their ability to master improvisation and polyphony was unprecedented. They were adept at restrained, but inspired instrumental jams. Their earliest successes, “Django” and “Bags Groove” have become jazz standards. The Modern Jazz Quartet enjoyed various resurgences throughout their illustrious career, but they were at a creative apex in the 50’s with their catalog on Verve and Atlantic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers Corner has released a re-mastering of Fontessa, (Atlantic\/1956). The original recording was engineered by Rudy Van Gelder and John Kraus. Their grasp of mono aural landscapes is superb and the vinyl re-mastering is faithful to the hi-frequency “roll-off” that defined that sound. Side One opens with a Lewis composition, “Versailles”. With a triangle for percussion, Lewis and Jackson play together and intermingle on the melody. The dual-pronged translation mirrors the distinctive, contrasting styles of Lewis (precise, serious) and Jackson (improvisational, bluesy). Heath’s understated double bass fits in perfectly. Perhaps the unique artistry of MJQ is best represented by the ruminative cover of “Angel Eyes”. With a single-note underlying vibraharp and triangle, Lewis executes his graceful, but complex piano notations. The melodic context has a sultry cinematic resonance. Lewis’ poignancy complements Jackson’s energetic be-bop phrasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways celebrating interpretive range, the title track is visionary. Fortunately, Lewis (the composer) has provided context to this “suite” in the liner notes. Lewis and Jackson combine on a classical-infused prelude (with deft cymbals). The first “movement” is vampy with blues imagery. There are unusual chords and musical structures folded into a medium-swing cool jazz groove. The next part is more improvisational as both Jackson  and Lewis (with a surprising gospel flavor) sustain lyrical flashes against a loping bass rhythm. The final segment is more contemporary with edginess and spare dissonance. Kay executes a rare cymbal solo. Side B is loaded with different arrangements. Everyone is familiar with Harold Arlen’s “Over The Rainbow”. Jazz musicians have always been drawn to this piece for its haunting, emotional melody. Lewis delivers a silky intro before he is joined by Milt on the patented dual lead with counterpoint. The physical dexterity of the vibraphone performance is dynamic and explosive. There is a quasi-bounce temp change, before the two soloists combine on a simple, but gorgeous harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Bluesology” (written by Milt Jackson) is an accomplished concoction of swinging jazz blues. Milt percolates on vibraharp, while John lats down soulful riffs. The overall sound is fuller, almost like a 4-piece big band. In a switch, Lewis shines with improvisational acuity on an extended solo with sprightly chords and soulful inflection. Jackson finishes the jam and the band executes another tempo change at the end. “Willow Weep For Me” is a change of pace with a moody late-night balladry. Again, Lewis can integrate with the rhythm section and layer counterpoint simultaneously. There is a slight rhythm up tick, before the return to bluesy rumination. The finale (“Woodyn You”) is homage to the group’s mentor, Dizzy Gillespie. As advertised it is a polyrhythmic bebop arrangement with syncopation, stops and big time swing flourishes. The amazing coherency of contrasting instrumentalists is intriguing and compelling. Jackson rollicking riffs and Lewis’ understated play merge seamlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall sound mix of Speakers Corner’s vinyl re-mastering is excellent. The mono fidelity is crystalline. The listener can differentiate each individual instrument  at all times. The mic placement is brilliant, as evidenced by the precise rendering of minor details like a cymbal or triangle. The vibraphone tonality is crisp and sharp, but also glows with echo. There are band notes (from the Atlantic album) by renowned critic Ralph J. Gleason (San Francisco Chronicle, Down Beat).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFontessa is a jazz classic, made greater by a technology update! » Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition, Apr 11, 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe famous critic and jazz expert Ralph J. Gleason quite rightly mentioned two highly distinctive men in his liner notes – John Donne and Pablo Picasso. Almost four hundred years and a great deal of seawater separate the two exceptional artists from England and Spain. Nevertheless the four black US-Americans who make up the Modern Jazz Quartet bridge the gap between time and continents effortlessly.\u003cbr\u003eAnd what’s more, blues is also to be heard – and bebop! And evergreens from the Broadway shows of the Thirties too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to some of the other rather more dawdling and laid-back MJQ LPs, \"Fontessa\" offers diversified and intense music. Nothing is routine, perhaps because the drummer Connie Kay had replaced Kenny Clark just one year previously. But maybe too because Milt Jackson’s blues influence inspired John Lewis perceptibly to forget all about discipline. All seven numbers are true gems. But if you want a special hint, just listen to \"Bluesology\". Well, perhaps the present author is too much of a Milt Jackson fan. Be that as it may, the music magazine \"Rolling Stone\" gave this LP a five-star rating!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4.5 \/ 5 , \u003cspan\u003eDiscogs \u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ratingValue\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4,12\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/ 5 , \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRate Your Music \u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ratingValue\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3,76\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/ 5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40404107493527,"sku":"1231","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/products\/the-modern-jazz-quartet-fontessa-audiosoundmusic-1.jpg?v=1719851504"},{"product_id":"the-modern-jazz-quartet-the-sheriff","title":"The Modern Jazz Quartet - The Sheriff","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Lewis (piano)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMilt Jackson (vibraharp) \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"vinyl featuring Milt Jackson\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/milt-jackson\" style=\"color: #ff8000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/milt-jackson\"\u003e[click here to see more vinyl featuring Milt Jackson]\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePercy Heath (bass)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnie Kay (drums)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWritten by John Lewis (A1, A2, B2), Heitor Villa-Lobos (A3), Fred E.

The program is not as sharply focused as on some of the earlier Atlantic releases, but it is compelling nonetheless. There are four originals by pianist John Lewis, including the fleeting, bluesy title cut, and the moody, spacious \"In a Crowd\" -- originally composed for the 1961 film A Milanese Story. Its stepped-up time signature and series of phrases played by Milt Jackson grounds the tune in blues, but Lewis' solo feels more like a solo trumpet breezing through the center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes Heitor Villa-Lobos' \"Bachianas Brasileiras,\" a classical piece the quartet first performed with guitarist Laurindo Almeida. Bassist Percy Heath is stellar here, playing both arco and pizzicato and alternately moving the work forward with deftness and precision. Lewis and Jackson engage in gorgeous counterpoint throughout. It's knotty, but exotic and beautiful. Another Latin-based work here is Luiz Bonfa's brilliant \"Carnival,\" which closes the set. Jackson's melodic interplay with Connie Kay's brushwork is subtle and rich, moving through a series of verses before Jackson takes it to the blues in his solo.

The integrity of Tom Dowd’s (record producer and engineer whose decades-long career is beyond legendary) source engineering is captured with integrity. The stereo separation is flawless (with vibes on left and piano on right). The idiosyncratic tonalities of the vibraphone are all there, including the precise crispness and looser vibrato. The studio effects have echo and reverberation, but in measured amounts. The original packaging with the “high fidelity” references to R.I.A.A. high-frequency roll-off and 500 cycle crossover are a glimpse into vintage recording. As indicated previously, Leonard Feather’s incisive liner notes are brilliant, as is the “Modern Art” cover.\" Audiophile Audition \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAugust 2018 by Robbie Gerson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllmusic : 3 \/ 5 , Discogs : 4.17 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40442290602135,"sku":"SD-11414","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/products\/the-modern-jazz-quartet-the-sheriff-audiosoundmusic-1.jpg?v=1719851785"},{"product_id":"john-lewis-the-wonderful-world-of-jazz","title":"John Lewis - The Wonderful World Of Jazz","description":"\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eORDER LIMITED TO ONE ITEM PER CUSTOMER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Lewis - piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Duvivier - bass \u003ca title=\"Vinyl featuring George Duvivier\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/george-duvivier\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/george-duvivier\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff8000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e[click here to see more vinyl featuring George Duvivier]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJim Hall - guitar \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff8000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/jim-hall\" title=\"vinyl featuring Jim Hall\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/jim-hall\"\u003e[click here to see more vinyl featuring Jim Hall]\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnie Kay - drums\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEric Dolphy - alto saxophone (B2) \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/eric-dolphy\" title=\"vinyl featuring Eric Dolphy\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/eric-dolphy\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e[click here to see more vinyl featuring Eric Dolphy]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Rivers (baritone saxophone : B2), Gunther Schuller (french horn : B2), Benny Golson (tenor saxophone : B2), Paul Gonsalves (tenor saxophone : A1), Herb Pomeroy (trumpet : A1 \u0026amp;

It all mattered. As did getting his music to the people. In fact he did just that for over 20 years as the MJQ rarely left the road.

The same can be said about the other French players employed on Afternoon in Paris -- neither tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen nor bassist Pierre Michelot were huge names in the U.S., although both were well-known in European jazz circles. With Lewis on piano, Distel on guitar, Wilen on tenor, Michelot or Percy Heath on bass, and Kenny Clarke or Connie Kay on drums, the part-American, part-French group of improvisers provides an above-average bop album that ranges from \"Willow Weep for Me,\" \"All The Things You Are,\" and \"I Cover the Waterfront\" to Milt Jackson's \"Bags' Groove\" and Lewis' title song. The big-toned Wilen was only 19 when Afternoon in Paris was recorded, but as his lyrical yet hard-swinging solos demonstrate, he matured quickly as a saxman. It should be noted that all of the Americans on this album had been members of the Modern Jazz Quartet; the only MJQ member who isn't on board is vibist Jackson. » AllMusic Review by Alex Henderson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was in Paris that John Lewis co-led this 1956 date with Sacha Distel, a French guitarist who never became well known in the U.S. but commanded a lot of respect in French jazz circles.

J. Johnson took the language of bebop and adapted it to his instrument winning the admiration of Fats Navarro, Dizzy Gillespie, and Charlie Parker. After appearing on Miles Davis' first Blue Note session in 1952, Johnson was given the chance to lead his own dates in 1953 and 1954. The first featured a sextet with Johnson joined by the brilliant trumpeter Clifford Brown, saxophonist Jimmy Heath, pianist John Lewis, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Kenny Clarke who perform a varied program with up-tempo burners like \"Turnpike\" and beautiful ballads like \"Lover Man.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor his next session Johnson went back into Van Gelder Studio to cut

The other date was recorded in Sweden while Brown was touring with Lionel Hampton \u0026amp; His Orchestra. Clifford Brown and fellow trumpeter Art Farmer play four Dameron arrangements with a Swedish group that includes altoist Arne Domnerus, baritonist Lars Gullin, and pianist Bengt Hallberg.

Initially, the combo was part of Dizzy Gillespie's influential backing band and after a change in drummers (to Connie Kay), they continued as one of the more sophisticated aggregates of the post-bop era. The album commences with Lewis' sublime and serene title track \"Django,\" dedicated to the memory of guitarist extraordinaire Django Reinhardt. This musical paean aptly recaptures the essence of Reinhardt's enigmatic gypsy-like nature, especially evident within Jackson's leads, which emerge from the thoughtful opening dirge with a refined, warm tone throughout. Reinhardt's playfulness is recalled in Lewis' well-placed interjections between and beneath Jackson's lines. \"One Bass Hit\" is an homage to Gillespie with Heath taking charge of the intricate melody, showing off his often criminally underutilized skills. From the same December 1954 gathering comes the moody Lewis-penned ballad \"Milano.\" There is a notable Mediterranean feel resounding in the opulence of MJQ's unassuming interaction. The centerpiece is the lengthy four-movement showcase \"La Ronde Suite\" circa January of 1955. The MJQ maneuver with unquestionable grace, alternately supporting and soloing, each taking the reigns as the others construct their contributions around the respective soloist. The remaining four selections date back to June of 1953 and are highlighted by \"The Queen's Fancy,\" a simple and refined fugue that carries a distinct air of nobility. \"Delaunay's Dilemma\" is a definite contrast as it allows the players to cut loose with some frisky and fun exchanges that perfectly demonstrate their ability to glide through the sinuous syncopation. Both the understated splendor of \"Autumn in New York\" and the equally sublime cover of \"But Not for Me\" provide some familiar backdrops for the MJQ to collaborate and perhaps more directly display their essential improvisational abilities. In terms of seminal Modern Jazz Quartet entries, it is hard to exceed the variety of styles and performances gathered on Django.\" AllMusic Review by Lindsay

He always loved jam sessions, but it did not take too much insight to realize that putting trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and altoist Sonny Stitt together with a strong rhythm section would result in some explosive music. The fireworks really fly on this LP during versions of \"Tour De Force,\" \"Dizzy Meets Sonny,\" \"Mean to Me\" and \"Blues for Bird,\" with time out taken for a ballad medley. Bebop at its best. » AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4 \/ 5 ; Discogs : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e4.5 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56964184998223,"sku":"J33J-25025","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Captured_ecran2026-02-04a20.51.29.png?v=1770234811"},{"product_id":"the-modern-jazz-quartet-blues-at-carnegie-hall-cd-japanese-edition-no-obi-copy","title":"The Modern Jazz Quartet ‎– Blues At Carnegie Hall (CD, Japanese Edition)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: red; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eRARITY - unsealed (Very good conditions) - No Obi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBass – Percy Heath\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrums – Connie Kay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePiano – John Lewis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVibraphone – Milt Jackson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWritten by \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRay Brown (1), John Lewis (6, 7), Milt Jackson (2, 3, 4, 5, 8)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCD with ring Audioquest, no OBI\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal analog Master tape : YES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStereo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStudio \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel :  Contemporary Records\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Label :  \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e  Contemporary Records\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded live at The Carnegie Hall in 1966 as a benefit for The Manhattan School Of Music\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngineered by Joe Atkinson, Phil Iehle, Tom Dowd\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginally released in 1966\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReissued in 1989\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePyramid (Blues For Junior)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eReally True Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRalph's New Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMonterey Mist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBlues Milanese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBag's Groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e« Blues at Carnegie Hall is a live Atlantic set from 1966, with the Modern Jazz Quartet performing eight blues-based compositions. In addition to such familiar pieces as the inevitable \"Bags' Groove,\" \"Ralph's New Blues\" (dedicated to jazz critic Ralph Gleason), and \"The Cylinder,\" there are a few newer pieces (including \"Home,\" which is similar to Lee Morgan's hit \"The Sidewinder\") included for variety. This predictable but consistently swinging set is particularly recommended to fans of vibraphonist Milt Jackson. » AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4 \/ 5 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56968955330895,"sku":"30JD-10096","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Captured_ecran2026-02-05a17.42.22.png?v=1770309756"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/john-lewis.oembed","provider":"AudioSoundMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
