John Lewis was a jazz pianist, who had established and directed the Modern Jazz Quartet, who not only learned to play the piano at an early age, but also had a family who played together so frequently that Mr. Lewis was one of the few pianists who played in a boy scout musical group.

When Mr. Lewis had relocated to New York to have an occasion to become a member of the Dizzy Gillespie band, he had given the band a self-penned tune called Bright Lights. Afterward, this band had changed this tune name to “Two Bass Hit” which became an instant prosperity.

After Mr. Lewis had gained proficient experience playing with the professional band of Dizzy Gillespie, he established the Modern Jazz Quartet with three other band members to play more independent and complex styles of music that were not permitted by Mr. Gillespie.

This was the first Atlantic disc of 33.33 rpm that consisted entirely of tunes that were played by means of the solo piano effort of Mr. Lewis. The tune “Warmeland” was originally a Swedish composition that was written by Anders Fryxell. Furthermore, the melody of this tune was “lent” to Max Bruch, who needed this music for the 1st movement of his Concerto for clarinet, viola and orchestra, Opus 88.

Despite the fact that this disc sold poorly, it has become a highly sought-after collectible mainly for jazz and ragtime piano lovers.
