    From sessions dating between August 1951 and April 1952, this is essentially the birth of the MJQ. The rhythm section for each of the three sessions varies slightly, but Jackson and John Lewis are present on every song, and the interplay between the two is already a thing to behold. This 1977 Arista/Savoy reissue includes all twelve tracks from the original QUARTET LP in glorious mono, with a new title, new cover art, and lengthy, detailed liner notes by Bob Blumenthal. My copy plays like new, with no noticeable surface noise.
