The Modern Jazz Quartet - Fontessa - Speakers Corner LP
$41.99
180 Gram Vinyl, LP
In contrast to some of the more laid-back MJQ LPs, "Fontessa" offers diversified and intense music. Drummer Connie Kay had replaced Kenny Clarke only a year earlier, and Milt Jackson's blues influence seems to inspire John Lewis to forget all about discipline. Blues, bebop and Broadway evergreens all find a place across seven gems — a record to which Rolling Stone awarded a five-star rating. This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.
