Ross played "Body & Soul" and Harriott played "Autumn in New York. An unforgettable evening. I was at RAF Uxbridge as a young airman that year.

One of the finest musical ensembles to ever grace the medium of recording. I wish that they had inspired more to imitate them. A true treasure of the 20th century.

MJQ40周年記念コンサートツアー。まるで映画を見ているような感覚で見させていただきました。４人の主役たちが、一つのパズル🧩のようにしっかり組み込まれ、ステンドグラスの様に淡い色彩を放っている。素晴らしい！😂最高の気持ちにさせてくれたことに対して､ありがとうございました。！🎉🎉

Incredible! In my opinion, this has to be the most underrated jazz band of all time. The integrity of these musicians is unparalleled. I've been listening to MJQ since I was 14 years old.

.....also my #1 band ! But not underrated... missunderstood of a part of People. Reason: they do not swing...what a nonsense ! Yor don't need Art Blakey for jazz drive.............the truth: Without Milt Jackson there is no MJQ.....

Jeg løfter min hatt så høyt jeg kan!! Man blir jo glad av å høre slike musikere….jeg takker!!

The Jazz world will always need an MJQ!!!

this is the finest group ever to combine...to present to the musical world ..what heaven is.. in music... their interpretation of blues/cool jazz/baroque/ was beyond belief.. all were masters of their instruments.. on an unbelievable scale and with melodic beauty.. MJQ were and still are my all time favourites Harvey Perkoff

Timeless music!

2023 , March 10 the , Myrtle Beach ,at a rainy day after 78 years of my life , watching this video , but the quality of the sound ,by recording is fantastic , and I can imagine that night at Netherlands , 1986 living in Los Angeles , and the recording studios were busy , night clubs , Las Vegas, San Francisco and all over USA , it was great to see groups, that never had time to relax , Jazz never died ! and never will !

Excellent music, I always enjoy listening to the modern jazz quartet! They played together so well, great rhythms!

Great performance. Milt Jackson is fantastic also the bass player; the piano is formidable, and he is playing very at ease... Beautiful, Beautiful. Thank you. Krikor from L. A. CA.

At : 4:02 Milt Jackson drops his left-hand stick - hardly skips a beat. I wish I'd seen them live. I grew up listening to this music courtesy of my parents who had the sheer good taste to let my punk albums co-exist alongside their MJQ and Miles collection. I grew out of punk - never grew out of the MJQ though.

This has to be the swingingest band of all times.

Perfect symbiose between them! Great musiciens!

Great, thank you for sharing

For just a few minutes listen only to Percy. ..........Isn't that wonderful?!

Unforgettable!

Beautiful! I heard MJQ in Ravenna Italy in the 80 s. This music moves me still today. Tanks!

I can not stop to lissen there wunderfull misic ! I love

Splendid !

THANK YOU

Einfach genial. Diese vier. Ich hatte das Vergnügen sie einmal in Zürich life zu hören. Wollte wegen Milt mit 20 Jahren vibraphon lernen. Ist dann plano draus geworden.

Maravillosos. Extraordinarios!!!!

I saw them once, in Washington, DC, and that night they swung so hard that the audience became energized to the point of stomping and yelling, and the MJQ looked astonished, but kept on soaring! Unforgettable.

Smooth Jazz at it ☺️ best of listening pleasure.Each artist playing from their souls. Magnificent Jazz. love it!

j'ai dû écouiter MJQ quand j 'étais petite à la maison ensuite j'ai acheté leurs disques quand j 'avais 25 ans et là j'ai plaisir à les entendre à nouveau ils sont inégalables, et pas du tout démodés. je salue aussi la prise de son qui nous permet d'apprécier leur talent..🙂

Humble apologies to all involved,been missing me ?? Probably not : Havn't followed for many years,just simply AWESOME,TWAS. simply wonderful,bless all four. Follow that,I think not.ian Morrison

Recién los descubrí y son maravillosos. Su forma de tocar, casi cómo acariciando los instrumentos musicales. Gracias por subirlo. Saludos desde Argentina

Amazing 😮

Valioso intérprete del celestial cool jazz. Tanta delicadeza desborda la imaginación y el tranquilo y sereno sonar del vibrafono transporta a dimensiones donde está música lo es todo !!!

Meravigliosi!

So we are just not gonna talk about how at 4:04 Milt got his stick caught in the Vibraphone bar, and managed to get it back, while STILL being in time

Fantastisch,,!,,,'!

They pretty much set the standard for jazz quartets, especially in the piano/bass/drums/vibes configuration. We have them on our iPod and iTunes.

Connie Kay must have the smallest bass drum I've sen for a quartet. Sounds great for that group!

I wish I had known them during the 70’s and 80’s when I had been mainly interested in Southern Rock, which had led me to Blues and eventually to Jazz of my father’s generation, through my having recorded his albums onto cassettes.

CLASS STYLE ATTITUDE!

Never heard 4 musicians so much in sync....Great music

👏🏾👏🏾

Milt Jackson. Het grote voorbeeld voor Frits Landesbergen!!

the tunes are: i'll remember april the golden striker one never knows billie's bounce 'round midnight woodyn' you what's new the legendary profile

Una maravilla

Saw & heard them in Ronnie Scott’s what a night!

Geniuses.

can't hear enough

Unici e immortali

Se percibe la perfección de esta musica excepcional mucho mejor a través de unos audífonos de calidad. La sincronía del bajo, particularmente, con el vibrafono raya en la perfección absoluta !!!

Cada uno en su campo es genial con su instrumento. Este álbum nos ofrece la mejor selección musical de este excepcional cuarteto.

Bags sounds great, and his great sidemen are perfect and keeping it light ( but swinging.). so as not to overshadow the naturally light vibraphone... what a great band!... this was just before he recorded his CTI recordings, which established him as a solo artist...(Olinga, Sunflower)

Its 1982 but its well ahead than any jazz music 2020

My dream came true in 1982 when I had the privilege of seeing my Dream Quartet in concert here in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺. They came via Melbourne, Australia returning from Japan in a Reunion tour. I thought that I would never see them after they disbanded. Allah uAkbar! God is great and fulfilled my dream and I was blessed to see them. ❤ Perfection is shown here. Their instruments were checked before they started to perform. Instrument Tuner checked every one on stage whether they were tuned absolutely perfect. The temperature and humidity in our concert hall would have an effect on the string instruments like the Piano and Bass. The MJQ was the epitome of PERFECTION! (Bryan Abrahams, Jazz Historian 1958, Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺).
