Having the reed section stand twice for applause shows how much Thad Jones appreciated their clean crisp performance on one of the best written and hippest solis in large ensemble arranging. Considering the soprano player wrote the tune and Thad arranged it what else would you expect! Smooth and swingin all the way. One of the best recordings of it I have heard too.

I stumbled upon the Vanguard while visiting NYC in 2019 after my freshman year in music college. I saw the line and asked the doorman who's playing. He said "the house band", which of course means what used to be Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. I lined up, bought a ticket at the door and went in for the most mindblowing 1.5 hours of live jazz I've ever heard. On the drums, carrying on Mel Lewis' legacy, was Mr. John Riley, whose drum books I have studied well. Cheers!

Many of the players directly from the Basie school, with a bit of harmonic updating, was a very fresh new sound in it's day! Example when the brass come in after the sax soli and then the shout soli with the whole band, that just wasn't ever done previously to my knowledge.

One of the greatest, most musical drummers who ever lived. Mel not only knew every nook and cranny of the charts he was playing (which he had memorized), he knew exactly what to play to complement the music in just the right way, phrasing with the band, finding the right colors and picking the right cymbal every step of the way. And MAAAANNN, what a shuffle! I never realized until recently how studying Mel has paid so many dividends in all of my playing, even in music that isn't jazz or big band related! I would say every young jazz drummer should check him out, but every drummer in general should, too!
