	Milt Jackson Biography : Oldies.com
		Jackson's first professional engagement, at the age of 16, was in his hometown, playing the vibraphone alongside tenor saxophonist Lucky Thompson (one year his junior).
		For the next 20 years, Milt Jackson led a Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde existence, playing the consummately sophisticated music of the MJQ, all dressed in their famous tuxedoes, and leading his own dates in the swinging company of Coleman Hawkins, Lucky Thompson or Horace Silver.
		Jackson was a strong force in the reintegration of bebop with swing values and musicians, the very definition of what came to be known as "mainstream" jazz.

	Milt Jackson: The Hard Bop Homepage
		Jackson's career centered on the MJQ for more than 20 years; only in the summer months when the MJQ did not perform did he regularly take on other jazz engagements as a leader or sideman.
		Jackson was one of the first vibraphonists to master the bop style, and is generally regarded as one of the finest performers on his instrument in the history of jazz.
		Jackson has also written a number of well-known jazz tunes, such as "Bluesology," "Bags' Groove," "The Cylinder," and "Ralph's New Blues," whose simple pentatonicism and formal design often contrast sharply with the complexity of his improvisations.

	BBC - Radio 3 Jazz Profiles - Milt Jackson
		On his return East in 1946, Jackson remained with Gillespie, first in a small group and then in the pioneering big band that transferred the bebop style to larger forces.
		This was a very important stage in Jackson's career, as the rhythm section, with bassist Ray Brown, pianist John Lewis and drummer Kenny Clarke, played intermissions during the big band's concerts, eventually becoming a separate group in its own right - first known as the Milt Jackson Quartet and then the Modern Jazz Quartet.
		The cornerstone of the MJQ was Jackson's inventive and bluesy vibes playing, which contrasted with the semi-classical piano style of Lewis, and this continued when bassist Percy Heath and drummer Connie Kay replaced Brown and Clarke.

		The 1952 session is an exciting bebop performance-- clearly recorded for singles, each piece is necessarily kept under three and a half minutes, which results in a bit of a tightening of what you'd expect the performances to be.
