{"product_id":"modern-jazz-quartet-fontessa-180-gram-lp-vinyl","title":"The Modern Jazz Quartet – Fontessa (LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in 1956, Fontessa arrived at a pivotal moment for the MJQ, with the group still finding its footing after Percy Heath and John Lewis had refined the ensemble's chamber-cool aesthetic through years of Newport Festival appearances and transatlantic touring. Lewis named the title track for Fontessa Moore, wife of vibraphonist Milt Jackson, and that personal warmth runs through the whole session, balancing the group's classically informed restraint with genuine emotional directness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to some of the other rather more dawdling and laid-back MJQ LPs, \"Fontessa\" offers diversified and intense music. Nothing is routine, perhaps because the drummer Connie Kay had replaced Kenny Clark just one year previously. But maybe too because Milt Jackson's blues influence inspired John Lewis perceptibly to forget all about discipline. All seven numbers are true gems. But if you want a special hint, just listen to \"Bluesology\". Well, perhaps the present author is too much of a Milt Jackson fan. Be that as it may, the music magazine \"Rolling Stone\" gave this LP a five-star rating!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Versailles (Porte De Versailles) (3:22)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Angel Eyes (3:48)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Fontessa (11:12)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Over The Rainbow (3:50)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Bluesology (5:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Willow Weep For Me (4:47)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Woodyn You (4:25)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4260019715456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speakers Corner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.4.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48931194798235,"sku":"26234656","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-modern-jazz-quartet-fontessa-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1783482605","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/modern-jazz-quartet-fontessa-180-gram-lp-vinyl","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
