After drummer Connie Kay passed away, this previously unreleased concert, recorded in Slovenia in 1960, was issued on a double CD and dedicated to him.

The Modern Jazz Quartet (which also includes pianist John Lewis, vibraphonist Milt Jackson and bassist Percy Heath) is heard in surprisingly inspired form playing their usual repertoire of the time.

Highlights include a 23-minute medley of John Lewis compositions, “Bag’s Groove,” “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” “Django,” “How High the Moon” and “Skating in Central Park.” Lewis has stated that the group never played better than during this concert. Although that statement is debatable, the MJQ certainly sounds in prime form throughout the easily recommended release.
