The Russian Jazz Quartet was a modern jazz band founded in 1964 by saxophonist/clarinetist Boris Midney and bass player Igor Berukshtis, who made a break from their Soviet music hall orchestra on tour to defect to the United States via the American Embassy in Tokyo the same year.
The incident attracted much attention from the Soviet press at the time, they were amongst the first musical artists to defect from the USSR in the 1960s. After requesting political asylum the two were flown to Copenhagen and then transferred to West Germany before moving to New York to pursue their careers in jazz. There they teamed up with British born Roger Kellaway on piano, George Ricci on cello/viola and African-American drummer Grady Tate to record the group's one and only album “Happiness”, released on ABC's recently created jazz label Impulse! in 1965.

The Russian Jazz Quartet era una banda de jazz moderno fundada en 1964 por el saxofonista/clarinetista Boris Midney y el bajista Igor Berukshtis, que se separó de su orquesta soviética de sala de música durante una gira para desertar a los Estados Unidos a través de la Embajada Americana en Tokio ese mismo año.
El incidente atrajo mucha atención de la prensa soviética de la época, fueron de los primeros artistas musicales en desertar de la URSS en los años 60. Tras solicitar asilo político, los dos fueron trasladados a Copenhague y luego a Alemania Occidental antes de trasladarse a Nueva York para seguir sus carreras en el jazz. Allí se asociaron con el británico Roger Kellaway al piano, George Ricci al violonchelo/viola y el baterista afroamericano Grady Tate para grabar el único álbum del grupo "Happiness", publicado en el recién creado sello de jazz Impulse! de la ABC en 1965.
