  • Summary

  • With their cool, bop-inflected improvisations and classical chamber aesthetics, the Modern Jazz Quartet rose to prominence in the 1950s – expanding the jazz paradigm and bridging the gap between smoky jazz clubs and prestigious concert halls. Together for more than 44 years, they trotted the globe and played in nearly all 50 states, bringing their sense of swinging elegance to millions.

    As part of the Peabody Award-winning documentary series “Jazz Profiles,” this episode about the Modern Jazz Quartet was produced in 1996 by Tim Owens and narrated by the show host Nancy Wilson.

    The “Jazz Profiles” shows – nearly 200 of them – are part of the Tim Owens Jazz & Broadcast Collection at the University of North Texas Music Library. In a partnership with Tim and UNTML, we’ve picked a handful of noteworthy shows to share with you. You can find more “Jazz Profiles” shows at the UNT Music Library’s Jazz Syndicate (www.library.unt.edu/jazzsyndicate), and learn more about 32 Bar Blues' clothing collection and commitment to the arts at 32barblues.com
