This quartet beautifully revives the grace and style of the Modern Jazz Quartet, including a blend of favorites from the MJQ repertoire and completely new tunes and arrangements for piano, vibes, bass and drums. Excellent work.
Favorite track: String Quintet in C major: Adagio.

about
Our Mr. Jackson is the debut recording of Darrell Grant’s MJ New. Inspired by the introspective elegance, and classic cool of the Modern Jazz Quartet, MJ New draws on bebop, classical counterpoint, and Black vernacular traditions like gospel and blues to create a sophisticated chamber jazz sound. Featuring inventive arrangements of jazz standards, reimaginings of chamber music by Mary Lou Williams, Franz Schubert and Terence Blanchard, and their own originals. Our Mr. Jackson celebrates both the historical and contemporary from Harlem to Brazil.
This album is dedicated to the memory of our friend and inspiration, Carlton Jackson.
You graced us with your brilliant talent, your wealth of musical knowledge, your impeccable taste, generous spirit, and enduring groove. Thank you for always knowing what time it was. Rest in power, brother. The Message lives on.
