Youngman – July 2013 Billed as Masters of Mainstream, the concert series that ran at the Old Mill Inn, Home Smith Bar was without question some of the best jazz that took place during this edition of the Toronto Jazz Festival. The Canadian Jazz Quartet or CJQ for short, have been around for awhile (founded in 1987). They play what I would consider the best straight ahead jazz in the style of their namesakes the Modern Jazz Quartet or MJQ. The MJQ was established in 1952 and was made up of John Lewis (piano), Milt Jackson (vibes), Percy Heath (double bass) and Connie Kay (drums). Like the MJQ the CJQ are comprised of the same instruments with the exception of piano, substitute the guitar of Gary Benson, and includes Frank Wright (vibes), Duncan Hopkins (double bass) and Don Vickery (drums).
