BAD THAD. BAD THAD.

@rvbcaboose777 I did some digging and the sax players in this are the same 5 guys from the "Live in Munich" album: Jerry Dodgion (lead), Ed Xiques, Larry Schneider (solo), Greg Herbert and Pepper Adams

The BEST modern jazz big band ever!. An all-star band with Thad's wonderful, complex yet tasteful arrangements and compositions. This was more a "reahearsal" band. They met on Mondays because everyone was a top-notch studio and jazz player on its own and had the rest of the week booked. Thad Jones was absolutely great and unique as a composer/arranger.

Bloww off!! Fantastic! And Thad Jones.

I think that's Bob Bowman on bass.

who's on the bass?

@Dyintryin You read it wrong. I meant it PROVES that he influenced Bonham, hence Bonham's Jazz influence.
-
@ZackPomerleau .It's more likely the case that Mel Influenced him.! Bonham was an incredible drummer in his own field of playing and he had a knowledge of jazz drumming too, but he would probably have scalded you for making that connection and would probably credit all the jazz and RnB drummers of his childhood who influenced him.
Hearing triplets on the drums PROVES nothing . ML could play the shit out of the drums and bury most of the rock guys of that era( and this) in terms of musicality.

@rollosaxx Thad Jones wrote some crazy sax solis. I am a fan. I want to study his writing some more.

I've played Cherry Juice several times. That sax soli is the hardest soli I've ever tried to play. Bitch tune. This vid looks early 70's ? Thad looks young there. Great band, great writer - Thad. This band is now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. Thad's writing has influenced big band music forever.
