• Track Listing

Captured on their opening night at the Village Vanguard (2/7/66), the first recording of this legendary orchestra initiated a streak of Monday appearances that would last 12 years (that tradition continues today with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra). Marking 50 years of that storied residency, this release also includes recordings made on March 21 of that year; this first official release includes "Back Bone," "Big Dipper," "Low Down," "Once Around," "Lover Man," "All My Yesterdays," "Willow Weep for Me" and more. You’ll hear Thad’s shouts, the musicians cheering each other on…lots of atmosphere and joy; a 92-page book boasts unpublished photos, essays and interviews with every living member of the band! Resonance.
