dedicated to john Sebastian reinhart better known as Django. john lewis wrorte it. jeff beck and john mclaughlin also did a fusion jazz version , which i think is best.
Lewis was clearly influenced by Bach (many jazz musicians are, and some consider him the first jazz musician -- master pianist Barry Harris says that if Bach were alive today, he wound be a jazz musician), and yes, the things that made the MJQ work were Lewis's classical sensibilities, Milt Jackson's blues feel, and the great rhythm section. And Lewis was also strongly influenced by the great Prez, Lester Young, who revolutionized and redefined the tenor saxophone. No Prez, no Getz, no Al Cohn, no Zoot, and both Sonny Rollins and Dexter Gordon cite Prez as major influences.
Excellent playing by one of thr greatest ensembles ever. The members no longer walk this planet. RIP gentlemen.
RIP.
One of the greatest compositions from one of the all-time classiest & most artistically creative groups of all time.
Love Mr. Heath's expression at the start of this iconic tune.
One of the best tunes composed by John Lewis and a moving one
I'd forgotten how good the MJQ was. Real class!
A GREAT TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT REINHARDT
What a great composition.
The blues as performed by Milt Jackson is what propels and intensifies this piece from nice to extraordinary!!!!!!
Probably my favorite jazz tune. Great performance here.
... this is really... just awesome! Percy Heath is just magic everytime and with every I see him with! An yes Smoooth!
Percy bass tone was always beautiful.
They all are legends !
Thanks a lot
I bet that his drums are always clean as new :D
Great one!
excellent sound, one of my fav from MJQ; thanks for sharing!
Sure is a sweet sound.
Great talent for this quartet!
Reminds me so much of Bach, mostly the voice leading I think. Amazing artistry!
Dustin Williams You can really tell John Lewis was influenced by him, definitely. Particularly in his excellent solo!

Subalashii !
En una entrevista le preguntaron a MILT JACKSON ¿De donde viene su estilo SOUL JAZZ? .Contestó VIENE DE LA IGLESIA (del GOSPEL Y DE LOS ESPIRITUALES)
as stylish and classy as a pair of expensive cufflinks on a crisp white shirt.
"Django" is Lewis's composition. Sad to see your uninformed comment.

mirmoezedin pakneshan i think they are all great! Let's not forget Joe Pass'
john Sebastian reinhart? Did the great jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt ever go by that name? News to me….
Beck and McLaughlin's version completely misses the point of this lovely tune.
