Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
I recently grabbed a copy of this from Craft since they've restocked it. I must say, for an OJC, this pressing sounds fantastic! It's way better than some of the pricier RSD jazz releases I've gotten lately, particularly when it comes to quality control. There's not a single pop, tick, or any surface noise to be heard. I'd definitely suggest snagging this one while Craft still has it in stock.
For the price, this is a pretty decent copy. My first Grant Green record in this category was the complete opposite, with low volume and lots of noise. The gatefold is a nice touch, with a well-written review and a bit of history. I enjoy reading that kind of stuff while listening to the music... it really adds to the atmosphere )
For the price, this is a rather pleasant copy. My initial experience with Grant Green's in this category was quite the contrary—low volume, lots of noise, you name it.

I suppose "modern" might not be the best descriptor for the Modern Jazz Quartet these days, considering this album dropped in '56. That aside, it's a strong record, very much in line with what we've come to expect from them. "Django", the title track, is a standout – a sultry, moody number that swings just right. Then there's Track A2, a showcase for each musician that's a real treat to listen to. All in all, for its time, the sound quality holds up pretty well.
