Modern Sounds is an album by trumpeter and bandleader Shorty Rogers featuring performances recorded in late 1951 and originally released as a 10-inch LP on the Capitol label. The tracks were also released in 1956 on a 12-inch LP split album under the same title with additional recordings by Gerry Mulligan.
The Allmusic review by Stephen Cook observed: "Rogers' outfit includes then future West Coast stars like alto saxophonist Art Pepper, tenor saxophonist Jimmy Giuffre, pianist Hampton Hawes, and drummer Shelley Manne, among others. Each soloist gets plenty of room to stretch out on a set including four Rogers originals".
All compositions by Shorty Rogers except where noted.
