The Modern Jazz Quartet - Blues On Bach

The Modern Jazz Quartet — Blues On Bach

Available for the first time in more than 50 years!

Transferred from the original half-inch four-channel master recordings

Blu-ray with 192/94 resolution quadraphonic and hi-res stereo mixes

Quadraphonic sound, or 4.0 surround sound, utilizes four audio channels connected to four speakers positioned at the corners of a listening space. The multi-tracked audio is mixed dimensional, immersing the listener in an expansive soundscape.

Growing out of Dizzy Gillespie's Big Band rhythm section, The Modern Jazz Quartet carved a niche in intersecting baroque counterpoint alongside strong blues groundwork. Alternating tracks between rearrangements of Johann Sebastian Bach pieces and original blues compositions (in the following keys spelling out "B-A-C-H"), Blues On Bach seamlessly represents the band's entertaining yet enjoyable ability in blending the seemingly different genres.
