| The Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, playing the music of Thad Jones during what turned out to be its last recording session, brings the long and prolific output of this marvellous band full circle. Since Mel’s passing in February 1990, the band is finding its way to a new identity - and things are looking very promising indeed. Mel would never have rerecorded these vintage Jones charts without a strong reason. Mel was his own sternest critic, and most protective of the band’s reputation. He felt that these new interpretations were valid both on their own, and in comparison to the originals. |
