1956 studio album by the Magnificent Thad Jones
The Magnificent Thad Jones is an album by American jazz trumpeter Thad Jones recorded on July 14, 1956 and released on Blue Note later that year.[3]
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states, "this quintet makes truly great jazz music together... The musicianship being at such a lofty plateau, so intelligently selected and executed, this CD is a must-have for every collection, and is generally regarded as the very best work of Jones, later big-band recordings with Mel Lewis notwithstanding."[4]
