Last week's death of Gerald Wilson reminded me of another great, underappreciated big band from the 1960s, the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra. This is a 30 min episode of Ralph J. Gleason's Jazz Casual from 1968. Jones conducts and plays fluegelhorn; Lewis is the drummer. Several soloists are identified during the program. Here's the play list and starting places on the video:
Just Blues 0:00
St. Louis Blues 5:25
Interview with Ralph J. Gleason 17:50
Kids Are Pretty People 22:00
Do Not Get Sassy (partial) 27.40
