THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTET Under The Jasmine Tree 1968 UK APPLE 1st PRESSING
THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTETUnder The Jasmine Tree
UK APPLE (SAPCOR 4) FIRST PRESSING (December 1968)
RARE LP IN GREAT CONDITION - POSSIBLY PLAYED TWICE AND WITH ITS 1/G, 1/G MOTHERS AND STAMPERS, ONE OF THE FIRST 300 OR SO COPIES MADE
A more unlikely match of artists and label you will rarely find -- the dignified, classically influenced, indelibly Afro-American Modern Jazz Quartet and the Beatles' Apple Corps, Ltd. But Apple in its Rocking '60s heyday was one of the most daringly eclectic labels on the scene, and as the sole jazz act on the roster, the MJQ was given complete artistic freedom, with no electric guitars or period psychedelia apart from the misleading cover art.
The program is more or less standard, poised, painstakingly structured, gently swinging MJQ, the group's contrapuntal interplay as telepathic as ever. The most distinctive of John Lewis' compositions is the revolving minor-key theme of "Three Little Feelings, Pt. 1" (part of a three-movement suite), while "The Blue Necklace" has a bell going off like that of a cash register, and Milt Jackson is clearly in his element on "The Jasmin Tree."
An extremely rare LP even when it was in print -- the Beatles' rock audience ignored it, and MJQ's fans couldn't find it
