Jazz 625

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Tonight's session with the Modern Jazz Quartet was recorded in 1964. It features the Brazilian guitarist Laurindo Almeida, who is a perfect foil for their precise and reserved sound.
Milt Jackson, John Lewis and Percy Heath met when playing with Dizzy Gillespie and tonight they are joined by drummer Connie Kay who replaced Kenny Clarke in the original line-up. Presented by Courtney Pine.
