Under the Jasmin Tree is an album by American jazz group the Modern Jazz Quartet featuring performances recorded in December 1967 and released on the Apple label.[5] The album was the fourth release on the Beatles' new label and the MJQ were the only jazz act to record for Apple.[1]
Reception
[edit | edit source]The Allmusic review stated: "The program is more or less standard, poised, painstakingly structured, gently swinging MJQ fare, the group's contrapuntal interplay as telepathic as ever".[1]
