The Modern Jazz Quartet Plays George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess is an album by American jazz group the Modern Jazz Quartet performing the score to George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess recorded in 1964-65 and released on the Atlantic label.

This is the Modern Jazz Quartet version of the major tunes from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess first recorded in 1965, but still sounding a fresh these days as ever. From a more modern viewpoint, this is an exercise in Chamber Jazz, and lacks some of the dynamics and changes of character we have become accustomed to in more recent recordings. Great album, this was my first jazz LP and it still sounds as good as ever. Read more. Album 1965. Filed under Third Stream By THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTET.
