Four Ways (album)

Four Ways is a 1969 album recorded by the British jazz ensemble the John Dankworth Orchestra. It is notable for being a collaborative project featuring four distinct compositional styles and instrumental approaches, each represented by a different "way". The album showcases Dankworth's versatility as a composer, arranger, and bandleader.

The album explores a range of jazz idioms, incorporating elements of swing, bebop, and more contemporary sounds for the time. It features prominent solos from members of the orchestra.

The exact tracklist and individual composer credits for each "way" are essential elements in understanding the album's structure and are typically included in any documentation. These variations contribute significantly to the album's character and were likely promoted as such.
