KCCK’s Featured CD for March 2016

515Gf88zsBL._SS280The KCCK Featured CD for March is “All My Yesterdays” by the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. The first official release of the two-disc set documents the debut recordings of the Orchestra at the Village Vanguard in 1966, a Monday night gig which lasted for twelve years. Many of the charts were things that Jones had written during his nine-year stint with the Count Basie Orchestra but, for whatever reason, were never used. He utilized them as a foundation for the band he formed with the celebrated big-band drummer, and his musical colleague, Mel Lewis. “All My Yesterdays,” the debut 1966 Village Vanguard Recordings of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra from Resonance Records.
