Lego set review “Jazz Quartet”

In 2023, I wrote and turned in to Tom Alphin, the Brick Architect website publisher, a review of the Lego Jazz Quartet, a set created by a Lego fan and chosen by the toy building block company to be manufactured and sold after garnering at least 10,000 votes on the Lego Ideas website. This was my first time building a large-sized Lego model, and I was happy to do this with a set that centered jazz music and had a diversity of human figures as part of the build.

Due to Alphin’s very busy life as a husband, father, author and in-demand presenter at Lego conventions, he needed to lessen his workload on the Brick Architect. Therefore, my article publication was delayed until August 31, 2025. Now I’m happy to see my review of the Jazz Quartet set online at the Brick Architect site.

Thank you, Tom Alphin, for making space for my article, especially since the Jazz Quartet set is now retired (don’t even get me started on how wrong I think that is!). The set is unique in so many ways, and I wish and hope Lego would make more that highlight diversity, music history and culture.
