The Modern Jazz Quartet - 40th Anniversary Tour. John Lewis , piano Milt Jackson , vibraphone Percy Heath , bass Mickey Roker , drums Kammerorchester Arcata Stuttgart - Patrick Strub. After their live recording in Freiburg at the legendary Zelt-Musikfestival in 1987, this DVD shows quite a different side of the Modern Jazz Quartet, here celebrating their 40th anniversary. Missing on this occasion was long-serving drummer Connie Kay, who by 1992 was already seriously ill and had to be replaced by Mickey Roker on the tour. Sadly in the last few years all four group members have died, the last being Percy Heath in 2005.
