About this album

The Modern Jazz Sextet is a sharply focused 1956 bop album that brings together some of the most distinctive voices in post-bop jazz. Built around concise themes, nimble solos and tightly coordinated ensemble work, it balances fire and control in a way that reflects the energy of the mid-1950s jazz scene. The set’s best-known pieces, including Tour De Force and Blues For Bird, underline the group’s command of momentum, blues feeling and harmonic invention. As a meeting point for modern jazz masters, the album stands as a clear example of small-group bop at its most disciplined and expressive.
