Never previously released on CD !
Includes both mono and stereo versions. His debut concert was celebrated
at the Philharmonic Hall in New York's Lincoln Center of the Performing Arts. The Orchestra USA was founded by John Lewis and Gunther Schuller and was capable of performing virtually any composed or improvised music in the western tradition of music.
This was the initial release by Orchestra U.S.A., an enterprise undertaken by pianist/composer John Lewis (of the Modern Jazz Quartet) to perform virtually any composed or improvised music, mixing top-flight instrumentalists from both jazz and classical music. It included two string quartets, large woodwind and brass sections, plus a variety of rhythm instruments. Lewis' "Three Little Feelings," expanded from its 1956 brass orchestration, features outstanding solos by alto saxophonist Phil Woods and guitarist Jim Hall. Both "Donnie's Theme" (featuring Eric Dolphy's explosive alto sax) and "Natural Affection" (featuring the composer's piano) were written by Lewis for a Broadway play by William Inge, Natural Affection. Lewis' writing for strings is breathtaking in "Milano," a work that he performed and recorded numerous times over the length of his career. Gary McFarland contributed two compositions: "Milesign," featuring another driving yet adventurous alto sax solo by Dolphy, and "Grand Encounter," an offbeat number showcasing the leader. Conductor Gunther Schuller scored the brief finale, an odd interpretation of "The Star Spangled Banner," a treacherous piece based on an old English drinking song. [Originally issued as a Colpix LP and long unavailable, this highly recommended album finally appeared as a Lone Hill Jazz CD in 2004, adding the mono takes for each selection as bonus tracks.]

John Lewis
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: May 03, 1920 in La Grange, IL
Died: Mar 29, 2001
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Chamber Jazz, Bop, Cool, Ballads, Third Stream, Mainstream Jazz, Orchestral Jazz
The musical director of the Modern Jazz Quartet for its entire history, John Lewis found the perfect outlet for his interest in bop, blues and Bach. Possessor of a "cool" piano style that (like Count Basie's) makes every note count, Lewis with the MJQ has long helpled make jazz look respectable to the classical music community without watering down his performances.
After serving in the military, Lewis was in the Dizzy Gillespie big band (1946-48). He recorded with Charlie Parker during 1947-48 (including "Parker's Mood") and played with Miles Davis's Birth of the Cool Nonet, arranging "Move" and "Rouge." He worked with Illinois Jacquet (1948-49) and Lester Young (1950-51) and appeared on many recordings during the era. In 1951 Lewis recorded with the Milt Jackson Quartet which by 1952 became the Modern Jazz Quartet. Lewis's musical vision was fulfilled with the MJQ and he composed many pieces with "Django" being the best-known. In addition to constantly touring with the MJQ during 1952-74, Lewis wrote the film scores to Odds Against Tomorrow, No Sun in Venice and A Milanese Story, recorded as a leader (including the 1956 cool classic "Two Degrees East, Three Degrees West," collaborations with Gunther Schuller and records with Svend Asmussen and Albert Mangelsdorff) and worked with Orchestra U.S.A. in the mid-'60s. When the MJQ broke up in 1974, Lewis worked as an educator and occasionally recorded as a leader. With the MJQ's rebirth in 1981, he has resumed his former role as its guiding spirit. Most of John Lewis's own projects were recorded for Atlantic.
