		Jones became well-known during his long period (1954-63) with Count Basie's Orchestra, taking a "Pop Goes the Weasel" chorus on "April in Paris" and sharing solo duties with Joe Newman.
		In 1978 Jones surprised Lewis by suddenly leaving the band and moving to Denmark, an action he never explained.
		Thad Jones recorded as a leader for Debut (1954-55), Blue Note, Period, United Artists, Roulette, Milestone, Solid State, Artists House, A&M and Metronome and many of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra's best recordings have been reissued on a five-CD Mosaic box set.

		In 1965 Lewis formed an orchestra in New York with Thad Jones that grew to be one of the top big bands in jazz.
		Thad Jones, in his compositions and arrangements never quotes or borrows (either directly or abstractly) from Louis Armstrong's music, making this homage little more than namedropping.

	NPR's Jazz Profiles: Hank Jones
		According to Hank Jones, "when you listen to a pianist, each note should have an identity, each note should have a soul of its own." For nearly six decades Jones has taken his own words to heart, playing every one of his notes with a unique and deeply personal style.
		Actively encouraged to play music by their parents were oldest son Hank, his younger brother, cornetist band leader, composer and arranger Thad Jones, and the baby of the family, drummer Elvin Jones, the poly rhythmic force behind John Coltrane's classic quartet.
		During junior high school, Jones used to listen to Fats Waller records on the radio before he left for school and Waller's insistent melodies and driving beat had Jones dancing all the way to class.

		Though still a member of the Count Basie band, Thad Jones began to make his mark as a forward-thinking bop trumpeter and writer with recordings such as these from 1956 and 1957.
		Like its companion release, The Jones Boys, the performances are from a gathering of the leader's namesakes and members of the Basie band.
		The performances are from a December 1956 quintet date that includes two tracks arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones, and from a January 1957 sextet session.

		The Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra was little more than a year old when this album was recorded live at the Village Vanguard, which was the band's Monday night home for every week of its existence.
		Jones almost single-handedly brought the big band into the modern age with this origanization.
		We have here the presence of Thad Jones on coronet and his co-leader Mel Lewis on drums with a band of about 20 including trombones,sax,flute,clarinet,piano,bass and guitar playing some extraordinary music in total elegance.

	One More: Music of Thad Jones
		Listeners familiar with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Band should know that Hanna held the piano chair in the band from its beginning in '66 through '74, and that he often performed Thad’s compositions on his own recordings.
		That’s the way Thad wrote, very translatable.” With musicians who have no doubt known one another and played together often over many years, there is the feeling here of a reunion, a celebration not only of Thad Jones’ talents as a composer but perhaps of the rare chance to play together again.
		Perhaps Owens' highlight is his solo on “Consummation.” Poetic justice: Thad Jones wrote the song for a concert performance by Owens in '69.

	Thad Jones/Mel Lewis: Consummation
		This was the big band of the 1970s (they were around much before that, but were really carrying the torch in the '70s), with powerhouse talent like Mrvin Stamm, Snooky Young, Jimmy Knepper, Jerome Richardson, Roland Hanna, Richard Davis, and Pepper Adams on board.
		Jones was at his writing and arranging peak as well, and churned out wonderful stuff like "Dedication", "Tiptoe", "A Child Is Born", "Us", and "Consummation."
		Jones has not earned his full due as a composer, arranger, and bandleader, not to mention his playing, which was top-notch.
