MAO Legendary Albums | Jay Jay Johnson with Clifford Brown (HU)

MAO Legendary Albums | Jay Jay Johnson with Clifford Brown (HU)

The importance of the Blue Note record company can hardly be overstated. The famous blue note-labeled albums recorded the pioneers of bebop after 1945, and then the defining small-band recordings of the hard bop era – these have become the eternal high points of jazz. The soloists of the Modern Art Orchestra, starting from the recordings of the first great era, relive the moments recorded on the blue-and-white label records.

The 29-year-old Jay Jay (later J.J.) Johnson temporarily retired from full-time music in 1953, but this album is partly credited with his return to become one of the greatest jazz trombonists. Trumpeter Clifford Brown was even younger than Johnson at the time of the recording. The entire rhythm section – John Lewis, Percy Heath, and Kenny Clarke – had already begun building the Modern Jazz Quartet brand (with Milt Jackson), and the saxophonist Jimmy Heath is Percy's younger brother. Johnson is able to articulate every emotional register on his difficult instrument, and Heath was just breaking free from the compulsion to imitate Charlie Parker while transitioning from alto to tenor and baritone, while Brown pours out breathtaking runs with a youthful exuberance. In the MAO adaptation, Kornél Fekete-Kovács will invoke Brown, Mátyás Papp will evoke Johnson, and Kristóf Bacsó will play the tenor sax part.

Will you come at midnight and listen to some classical music while lounging on a beanbag, just an arm’s length from the musicians?

For almost a quarter of a century, the Festival Orchestra’s program series for children has brought a high-quality classical musical experience to the youngest. The orchestra’s rehearsal room not only serves experimenting with the tiniest details of the symphonic pieces to be performed or playing chamber music, but also as the venue for educating the next generation of classical music lovers.
