The record

Prestige assembled this in 1964 from earlier Modern Jazz Quartet material, and the drum chair shifts across it -- Kenny Clarke and Connie Kay are both credited, with Percy Heath, John Lewis and Milt Jackson constant. The program runs to slow standards, 'Autumn In New York' and 'But Not For Me' among them. A compilation rather than a session, and worth knowing that going in. Mono, PR 7421.
