To mark the 100th birthday of legendary trumpeter Thad Jones, saxophonist Mark Buckingham and the “Thad Jones Legacy Orchestra” will present a variety of tunes to celebrate one of Jazz’s most influential arrangers! Featuring London’s finest Jazz musicians, the band will revisit Thad Jones’s contribution to the Count Basie Orchestra, his own compositions within the Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Orchestra and the Danish Radio Big Band as well as tributes written in memory of the master by other celebrated composers.

From “Shiny stockings” to “Big dipper” and “A child is born”, expect to hear all the classics as well as some obscure gems!

Mark,
I really enjoyed your gig at the Hampton Hub last night. I have been a TJ-ML Orchestra enthusiast for many years and it was a real thrill to experience Thad Jones’ compositions and arrangements played live by such a talented and enthusiastic band.
Please add my name to your email list. Dave D.
