Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra

As far as I can tell, all of these recordings are out of print, I'm putting them up so young players can download them and learn from these masters of the horn. If you have any problems with them, please email me at mark@andersonmark.com

This is Thad and Mel's third record, a jazz classic. "Mornin' Reverand", "St. Louis Blues" (arr. Bob Brookmeyer) and "The Second Race" are 3 of the best big band recordings you will ever hear. The great soprano solo on "The Waltz You Swang For Me" is the great Jerome Richardson, a real standout, as is Jimmy Knepper on "Kids Are Pretty People". "Second Race" features Seldon Powell on tenor, while Eddie Daniels is heard on "Mornin' Reverand". THIS IS A GREAT RECORD - ENJOY!
