Milt Jackson - Milt Jackson - UHQCD

UHQCD Japanese import

This UHQCD presents sessions led by vibraphonist Milt Jackson: 5 where the eventual members of the Modern Jazz Quartet are joined by saxophonist Lou Donaldson, and 6 tracks with Thelonious Monk. The July 2, 1948, date with Monk was recorded eight months after the pianist's first recordings as a leader. Jackson, responding to the demands of Monk's music with his customary fluid grace, is key to these definitive early recordings of "Evidence," and "Misterioso". As always, it's not Jackson's speed that impresses, it's his taste, musicianship, and artistry.
