SKU: CL.SCM-1093-00
This chart was written when Thad lived in Denmark and was named after jazz organist Rhoda Scott. This writing is typical Thad that was a favorite of the Mel Lewis Orchestra and it is still played by the Village Vanguard Orchestra. This medium tempo AABA composition displays the classic Thad Jones harmonic and melodic approach to writing for a big band. Not as well known as Don’t Get Sassy or Tip Toe as it was first recorded in Denmark and then again with the Mel Lewis Orch on the The Definitive Thad Jones CD’s recorded in the US in 1988, but it is a great one. Written solos. Written ranges: Trp. 1 (A), Trb. (G) , Alto (D).

Written during Thad's later years in Denmark after he and Mel Lewis parted ways, this bright, double-time tune designates piano as the main soloist, but includes an optional repeat of the solo chorus for trumpet and/or soprano (or alto) sax. A rubato intro and ending, both featuring solo piano, give the chart a strong sense of form and symmetry. Duration 4:00.

This accessible ballad, penned during Thad's later years in Denmark, is a rubato study in full-band expression. It opens with fortissimo brass, transitions to a quiet midsection showcasing saxes/woodwinds, then recaps the strong opening before going out very quietly with soprano (or alto) sax and trombones only in the final bars. No improvised solos are required. Duration 4:00.
