The record
A German radio archive capture from the Modern Jazz Quartet's European tour orbit, with Percy Heath and Connie Kay slotting alongside Koller's continental cohort -- Solal, Guérin, de Villers -- for a one-off transatlantic summit. Cool-toned but muscular, it's a snapshot of late-'50s European jazz reaching parity with its American source.
