Joe Pass / Milt Jackson / Ray Brown / Mickey Roker – Quadrant

A superb 1977 Pablo session bringing together four jazz heavyweights in an intimate, swinging quartet setting. Quadrant captures guitarist Joe Pass and vibraphonist Milt Jackson in inspired dialogue, backed by the impeccable rhythm team of Ray Brown on bass and Mickey Roker on drums. The result is a relaxed yet deeply sophisticated straight-ahead jazz date, blending blues feeling, bebop vocabulary and elegant swing.

Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Norman Granz, this album highlights the warmth and interplay that defined the Pablo label’s classic late-70s output. Joe Pass’ fluid lines and chordal mastery are beautifully complemented by Milt Jackson’s lyrical vibraphone tone, while Ray Brown and Mickey Roker provide a rock-solid but supple foundation. A highly collectible Pablo pressing, particularly sought after by fans of Joe Pass and Milt Jackson.
