About this album
The L.A.4 is a lively and highly melodic jazz album that showcases the quartet’s easy rapport and polished musicianship. Released in 1976, it finds the group balancing swing, Latin colours and lyrical balladry with an assured, conversational feel. The performance of pieces such as “Manteca”, “St. Thomas” and “Concierto De Aranjuez” highlights the ensemble’s ability to move from driving rhythms to more restrained, harmonic detail without losing momentum. As a Los Angeles-based supergroup project, LA4 helped underline how accessible, sophisticated small-group jazz could be in the 1970s.
