Inside The Groove

Milt Jackson Quintet's live performance at the MoMA, in a very relaxed mood.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

On August 12, 1965, when the temperature and the humidity climed so high, “Jazz in The Garden” event was held at the Museum of Modern Art. According to the liner-notes, the event itself was originated by the late Metronome magazine and the Museum, and was carried on jointly by the Museum and Down Beat, whose New York editor, Dan Morgenstern, was on the program committee at the time (and was the soft-spoken MC of the concerts).

Dan Morgenstern introduced the band and, at 8:37 PM, the concert began. The band played nine tunes in a very relaxed mood, and the performance was really bright and swinging. The highlight would be the flashing vibe solo on B-2 “Montelei”, as well as stompin' Latin-flavoured B-5 “Flying Saucer” which is very enjoyable (even featuring James Moody's vocal). The concert ended at 9:20 PM.

From melodious ballads to swingin' numbers, Milt Jackson plays so fluently. One of his definite performances throughout the 1960s.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

9 out of 10
