The Modern Jazz Quartet was an influential jazz ensemble active from 1952 to 1974. It was comprised of pianist John Lewis, bassist Percy Heath, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, and drummer Connie Kay. The band was known for its sophisticated style of music, blending elements of classical music, bebop, blues, and jazz.

The Modern Jazz Quartet’s most notable albums include: “Pyramid” (1959), “Third Stream Music” (1960), “Lonely Woman” (1962), and “The Comedy” (1965). Their most popular songs include “Django”, “Milano”, “Bag’s Groove”, and “The Golden Striker”.

An interesting fact about The Modern Jazz Quartet is that they were the first jazz group to play at the White House, performing for President John F. Kennedy in 1962.
