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. The album was the fourth release on the Beatles' new label and the MJQ were the only jazz act to record for Apple.
Reception
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".
