Composed by Thad Jones. Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Signature Edition. Kendor Music Inc #64044S. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.64044S).

UPC: 822795640441.

This classic chart is taken directly from the original ink parts that were on the stands at the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra (now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra) debut performance in February 1966 and continue to be played by the group Monday nights at the Village Vanguard in New York City. Originally commissioned by Count Basie for an entire album of Thad Jones' music, but Basie never made the record, and suggested that Thad start his own band instead. From that advice, Thad formed the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra. Based on the chord changes to I Got Rhythm, this uptempo advanced level chart maintains the swinging Basie mindset and is in a 32-measure AABA form. Duration 8:50.

Jazz ensemble - Grade 4

Composed by Jones. Arranged by Carubia. Jazz Ensemble. Smart Chart Music - Thad Jones Series. Score and set of parts. Composed 2011. Duration 3 minutes, 19 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #SCM-1073-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.SCM-1073-00).

This never-before-published Thad Jones composition is a interesting medium tempo swing chart with just a touch of a blues march feel. First recorded live by the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band at the Village Vanguard in 1967, this very playable chart features a great double shout chorus separated by a 4 bar drum fill. With 16 bar blues changes to work with, Thad’s simple muted trumpet melody turns into a roaring masterpiece of full ensemble excitement before returning to the simple muted trumpet theme. Written solos are provided and this unique chart features two 1st Trumpet parts (High / Low) and includes an optional flute part.

Jazz Ensemble - Grade 5

SKU: KN.64046S

Composed by Thad Jones. Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Signature Edition. Kendor Music Inc #64046S. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.64046S).

UPC: 822795640465.

This new advanced level edition is taken directly from the original ink parts that were on the stands at the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra (now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra) debut performance in February 1966 and continues to be played by the group Monday nights at the Village Vanguard in New York City. Originally commissioned by Count Basie for an entire album of Thad Jones' music, however Basie never made the record, instead suggesting that Thad start his own band. Low Down still maintains that swinging Basie mindset and is a 32- measure AABA form. Its basic foundations are a relaxed but powerful rhythm section with a driving ride cymbal beat and crisp hi-hat, underpinning saxes and brass that are tight, and always on the back of the beat. Duration 3:40.
