"One of New York’s institutions … its strengths are its colors and its soloists."
—The New York Times
Based in the world-famous New York City jazz club the Village Vanguard, this jazz orchestra features 16 of the city’s finest players, with a pedigree that goes back to the legendary Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. This two-time Grammy©-winning ensemble is filled with some of world’s best jazz musicians – most who lead their own bands when not performing with the orchestra. Several of the current key members played for Jones, so the original precepts of sound and swinging are proudly held and displayed while the other original precepts of creativity and experimentation are nurtured and encouraged.
