Modern Jazz Quartet| US jazz group specializing in group improvisation. It formed in 1952, disbanded in 1974, and re-formed in 1981. Noted for elegance and mastery of form, the quartet has sometimes been criticized for being too ‘classical’. |
| It is led by pianist John Lewis (1920– ), with Milt Jackson (1923–1999) on vibraphone, bass player Percy Heath (1923– ), and drummers Kenny Clarke (1914–1985) and later Connie Kay (1927– ). |
