Concorde is an album by The Modern Jazz Quartet. It was recorded in New York City on July 2, 1955 and released on Prestige (7005) the same year. The album was reissued in 2008 as part of the Rudy Van Gelder Remasters series and includes the original liner notes by Ira Gitler.
This album is the first MJQ release to feature drummer Connie Kay, who replaced Kenny Clarke in 1955 and their first LP conceived from the beginning as a long playing record. The liner notes acknowledge the additional playing time of the LP format by asking the listener to regard the album as a performance set "at one of America's leading Jazz rooms."
