The album Portrait Of The Modern Jazz Quartet by Nat Steele, Gabriel Latchin, Dario Di Lecce, and Steve Brown is a stunning tribute to the legendary jazz group. The quartet's musicianship is impeccable, and they seamlessly blend their unique styles to create a cohesive sound that pays homage to the Modern Jazz Quartet while also adding their own personal touch.
The album features a mix of original compositions and classic jazz standards, all of which are given new life by the quartet's fresh approach. Steele's vibraphone playing is particularly noteworthy, with his intricate melodies and virtuosic solos adding depth and texture to each track. Latchin's piano playing is similarly impressive, with his nimble fingers dancing across the keys in a way that is both lively and nuanced.
Di Lecce and Brown provide a solid foundation for the group, with their bass and drums respectively providing the backbone for the quartet's sound. Their tight rhythms and impeccable timing create a sense of unity that is essential to the success of the album.
