When a recording company decides to release simultaneously five albums by a single performing group, you know there has to be something pretty unusual astir. That's exactly what MGM Records has done with the Metropolitan Jazz Quartet, America's new "MELODIC JAZZ" stylists – and the music-making at hand is definitely unusual enough to warrant the event. In this album – and its related foursome – consists of numbers that you don't normally hear in jazz versions – material in which the melody must be stressed for full effect. Stressing these melodies brilliantly but adding the spirit of freedom of jazz easomely in some of the most entertaining waxings you've heard in many a moon. Like we said, the stylings are unique – with great listening entertainment built in! This is jazz everyone will like!

In the present album the Quartet has a go at eleven great and familiar themes from the classics. The melodic brain-children of such immortal composers as Grieg, Liszt, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Paganini, Rachmaninoff, Bizet and Brahms provide the base for terrific flights of instrumental fantasy. You're sure to find it all lots of fun!

Cuando una compañía discográfica decide publicar simultáneamente cinco álbumes de un mismo grupo, se sabe que tiene que haber algo bastante inusual. Eso es exactamente lo que ha hecho MGM Records con el Metropolitan Jazz Quartet, los nuevos estilistas del "MELODIC JAZZ" de Estados Unidos, y la forma de hacer música es lo suficientemente inusual como para justificar el evento. En este álbum - y su cuarteto relacionado - consiste en números que normalmente no se escuchan en versiones de jazz - material en el que la melodía debe ser acentuada para un efecto completo. Acentuando estas melodías brillantemente pero añadiendo el espíritu de libertad del jazz fácilmente en algunos de los enceres más entretenidos que se han escuchado en muchas lunas. Como hemos dicho, los estilos son únicos - ¡con un gran entretenimiento para escuchar! Este es un jazz que gustará a todo el mundo.

En el presente álbum, el Cuarteto aborda once grandes y conocidos temas de los clásicos. Los hijos melódicos de compositores inmortales como Grieg, Liszt, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Paganini, Rachmaninoff, Bizet y Brahms proporcionan la base para vuelos increíbles de fantasía instrumental. Seguro que le resultará muy divertido.
