• The MJQ’s complete original album ‘The Modern Jazz Quartet Plays for Lovers’ (originally on Prestige). The album features a selection of their recordings of love-related ballads and medium tempo standards from the early years of the group (1952–55)

• Added as a bonus are six additional tracks with the same concept, from their Atlantic years (1956-58)

• With the subtle combination of Milt Jackson’s vibes, John Lewis’ piano, Percy Heath’s bass, and Kenny Clarke and Connie Kay alternating on drums, the Modern Jazz Quartet developed their trademark sound which was unique in jazz. Whether playing ballads or medium or up-tempo numbers, the MJQ’s music was always tasteful and sophisticated without sacrificing a strong sense of feeling.

• Total Time: 76:45 mins. - 14 tracks - Includes 12-page booklet - 24-bit digitally remastered.
