NYO Jazz Performs Thad Jones’s “Tiptoe” with Bandleader Sean Jones

In the final concert of NYO Jazz’s 2018 European tour, Sean Jones leads the band in a performance of Thad Jones’s “Tiptoe” at Konzerthaus Berlin.
In the summer of 2018, gifted young jazz musicians from across the country came together to study with world-class jazz masters during the inaugural season of NYO Jazz. A completely free program for all participants, NYO Jazz gives young musicians the opportunity to perform as cultural ambassadors on an international stage and share a uniquely American musical genre with cultures around the world through an international tour each summer. Trumpeter Sean Jones-one of the field’s outstanding performer-composer-educators-served as soloist and bandleader for NYO Jazz’s Carnegie Hall debut and inaugural European tour, which included performances in the Netherlands, Germany, and Great Britain. World-renowned jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves and critically acclaimed trombonist Wycliffe Gordon joined NYO Jazz as special guest artists for the ensemble’s Carnegie Hall debut. Ms. Reeves was also featured as a guest artist on the tour to Europe.

Thad Jones always wrote tunes that were so angular and in the pocket at the same time, only the best from an alumni of Count Basie’s orchestra

Years ago at a Monday night Vanguard concert John Mosca said that Thad told him the idea came from sneaking to the fridge for a midnight snack and then the plate of food you were after falls out and wakes everyone up lol.
