The Modern Jazz Quartet was formed in 1952 by Milt Jackson (vibraphone), John Lewis (piano, musical director), Percy Heath (bass), and Kenny Clarke (drums). Connie Kay replaced Clarke in 1955. Various of the members had played together backing other artists such as Dizzy Gillespie and Ray Brown, and in Jackson’s own Quartet.
Through their long existence, they have worked with Classical musicians and are known for incorporating elements of Classical music into jazz, being one of the most notable examples of the style called Third Stream.
The group disbanded in 1974 and reformed in 1981 on a part-time basis, with their last new recording issued in 1993.

It is appalling to see such marvelous music tagged as "smooth" jazz. I guess that's what happens when you stop teaching music appreciation.
