Review by Urs Villiger

The Modern Jazz Quartet's 1962 album, Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea, is a timeless masterpiece that showcases the group's virtuosic musicianship and innovative approach to jazz. The album features a variety of original compositions and classic jazz standards, all performed with the Quartet's trademark precision and elegance.

The album's opening track, "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)," is a lively and upbeat rendition of the Duke Ellington classic, featuring dynamic interplay between pianist John Lewis and vibraphonist Milt Jackson. Other standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Willow Weep for Me," the swinging "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea," and the melancholy "Delaunay's Dilemma."

Throughout the album, the Quartet's musicianship is consistently impressive, with each member demonstrating their mastery of their respective instruments. Lewis's piano playing is particularly noteworthy, with his intricate and lyrical solos adding depth and complexity to each track.
