1974 Japanese Atlantic Records/Warner-Pioneer Corporation promo poster
Large original first printing Modern Jazz Quartet promotional poster issued by Atlantic Records/Warner-Pioneer Corporation in Japan in the early 1970s, presumably 1974 to coincide with the group’s Japanese tour during March 1974. MJQ had recorded for Atlantic Records since 1956. The Atlantic Records catalog were released in Japan primarily through the Warner-Pioneer Corporation. The Blues on Bach album, produced by Nesuhi Ertegun, was released just prior to the tour. Later in 1974 vibraphonist Milt Jackson departed from the group due to creative disagreement and frustration with their busy touring schedule. The MJQ ceased to play until the early 1980s when they began reuniting periodically. The poster was for promotional purposes only, and was never made commercially available.
The poster measures 83.8 x 59.1 cm (approx. 33″ by 23.2″ inches) and is printed on thin, coated paper stock. Light sporadic surface handling wear, else in remarkably near excellent unfolded condition. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have concerning this item. Additional images of the poster available on request.
