Live at the Village Vanguard: The music of the Thad Jones and Mel Lewis Orchestra
Jazz Workshop Students will Open the Show
This big band jazz Orchestra became world famous, especially with their 1967 release, Live at the Village Vanguard. The album was nominated for a GRAMMY in that same year under the category of "Best Instrumental Jazz Performance of a Large Group." The band went on to win a GRAMMY in 1979.
Sit back in our quaint setting at the Good Luck Macbeth Theater to enjoy the RJO as it presents Live at the Village Vanguard: The music of the Thad Jones and Mel Lewis Orchestra.
Note: Saturday Jazz Workshop students opening for this performance get in free, although tickets are required for family members, friends, and non-participating students.
