While the supporting personnel have ...

Emerging loudly as part of 1980s young lion ...
Modern Jazz Quartet: The Complete Atlantic Studio Recordings 1956-64
by John Kelman
Even now, nearly sixty years later, it seems improbable that a group which came together as the rhythm section for one of the hottest players in bebop's genesis era, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, could morph into a standalone group that was the epitome of grace, elegance and cool dignity.

Roseanna Vitro: Following Her Muse
by Dan Bilawsky
While the back panel of vocalist Roseanna Vitro's The Music Of Randy Newman (Motéma, 2011) says “File Under: Jazz/Pop/Vocals," those labels don't do her justice.

Virtuosity is a beautiful thing. One would somehow like to believe that anybody can learn how to play any given instrument with delicate, enchanting energy; but truth be told, some are simply born with a gift that most can only dream of.
