The unmistakable heartbeat of Dennis Irwin in perfect time with Mel. Glorious....

Grew up playing the arrangements from this. Great memories and top to bottom a great listen.

Beautiful!

Best big band chart of all time! I've actually played this chart with this band.

Little bits of Singin In The Rain quoted in the piano intro. This is just SO good - Mel’s tasty drumming, great players- great stuff

[@keithdubois1521]

Real nice tune. Great arrangement.

[@scottgwinnell4676]

This was apparently Kenny's first chart!

Anyone has the rest of the album? I can't find it anywhere. It's one of my favs!!

Anybody who has experienced Thad Jones Mel Lewis band at its best will admit that this band fails sadly by comparison. I miss seeing Thad conducting his great music and wonderful soloists that band had. Great memories!!
