Thad Jones & Mel Lewis - Consummation - Pure Pleasure LP

Limited Edition, 180 Gram Vinyl

Widely regarded as the finest album the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra ever made, Consummation is a high-water mark of late-1960s big band jazz. Recorded in 1970, it introduced Thad Jones's most beloved composition, the gorgeous ballad "A Child Is Born," alongside punchy, inventive ensemble writing that shows the orchestra at the peak of its powers.
