    About This Event

    Rooted in the lineage of Thad Jones and Mel Lewis, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra continues New York's Monday-night big-band tradition at the Village Vanguard. The group's repertory and discipline favor section blend, tight ensemble timing and continuity over solo display, producing large-ensemble jazz suited to close listening in the club's intimate basement room.
