“The band has always had a shout-it-out-loud enthusiasm, producing tones that are both thrilling and precise.”
—The New Yorker
Come be enthralled by an acclaimed and innovative big band of jazz—The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra! This 18-piece orchestra founded by Thad Jones and Mel Lewis in 1966, maintains the highest artistic integrity and cutting-edge tradition of its founding members.
Hundreds of musicians, including Wynton Marsalis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and Sonny Rollins, have recorded at the legendary Village Vanguard in New York. But, it’s the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra that calls it home, playing every Monday for four decades, celebrating the soul, heart, and sizzle of big band jazzy rhythms.
