The Million Dollar Quartet was a group of four musicians who participated in an impromptu jam session on December 4, 1956, at Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The session involved Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. The recording was first released in Europe in 1981 as The Million Dollar Quartet, featuring 17 tracks. Additional material was discovered and released as The Complete Million Dollar Session. In 1990, the recordings were released in the United States as Elvis Presley: The Million Dollar Quartet. This session is considered a seminal moment in rock and roll history, capturing a casual gathering of four artists who would each significantly contribute to the seismic shift in popular music in the late 1950s.
