5.0 out of 5 stars Desert Island Disc, January 30, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modern Jazz Quartet Plays Gershwin's Porgy & Bess (Audio CD)
One of the most profoundly beautiful albums ever made, in the same league as Miles' Kind of Blue. Luminous, exquisite.

3.0 out of 5 stars first time ever disappointed with MJQ, June 11, 2008
By 
This review is from: Porgy & Bess (Audio CD)
I'm old, really old, so you can believe I've loved the MJQ since my prime. I even went to see them in person, in their dotage (not mine). But this effort is SO not like them, so disconnected from the original, the melodies, storyline, characters that it should bear a different title altogether.
