Title Note

Recorded at the Village Vanguard, New York.

Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra: Dick Oatts (soprano saxophone, alto saxophone); Ted Nash (alto saxophone); Joe Lovano, Ralph Lalama (tenor saxophone); Gary Smulyan (baritone saxophone); Jim Powell (trumpet, flugelhorn); Glenn Drewes, Earl Gardner, Joe Mosello (trumpet); Stephanie Fauber (French horn); John Mosca (trombone); Earl McIntyre, Douglas Purviance (bass trombone); Kenny Werner (piano); Dennis Irwin (bass instrument); Mel Lewis (drums).

While he was also a fine trumpeter, the late Thad Jones was one of the best composers for modern jazz orchestras in the 1960s and `70s, along with co-leading a celebrated big band with drummer Mel Lewis. Jones's tunes combined sophistication with warm, engaging melodies. After his untimely death, the Lewis organization kept the flame burning with regular performances; LIVE not only features classic Jones works but showcases contemporary jazz heavyweights such as Joe Lovano, Kenny Werner, and Earl McIntire.
