The "Million Dollar Quartet" is a recording of an impromptu jam session involving Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash made on December 4, 1956, at the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.
This session is considered a seminal moment in rock and roll.
By coincidence Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis happened to be together in the studio at Sun Records, Memphis, Tennessee on December 4th, 1956. It was rare to have all of them in the studio at the same time, so producer Sam Phillips decided to record the event. Nobody else knew that the tapes were rolling. This CD gives a privileged insight to what took place on that special afternoon.
