Milt Jackson

On New Year's Day, the late Milt Jackson would have celebrated his 85th birthday. To mark the event, and to consider the great vibraphonist's most enduring recordings, Alyn Shipton selects from his extensive catalogue, with the help of an archive interview with Jackson himself, who recalls his days with Dizzy Gillespie, his partnership with Ray Brown and his many years as the vibraphone star of the Modern Jazz Quartet.
