Porgy and Bess by the Modern Jazz Quartet review
The Modern Jazz Quartet interprets Gershwin's Porgy and Bess and delivers one of their best records in Australia. Despite a slow start on Summertime, the group blends restraint and depth with tracks like It Ain't Necessarily So and There's A Boat That’s Leavin' Soon For New York. A flawed rhythm section and missing J J Johnson dampen the session, but individual solos by Moody and Jackson shine amid overall co operative dynamics.

Schifrin Jazz Film Tracks Highlight The Union Of Sound And Screen
In La An Bok Or The Arts Garry Raffaele reviews Schifrin’s new record. It blends largely from Once a Thief with bonus pieces from The Cal and The Man From UNCLE showing the pianist’s passion with his Gillespie era group. Strongly composed pieces like The Joint and The Man From Thrush feature space for notable solos, celebrating a return after two years and earning a must hear label despite the film’s reception.
