The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra at Village Vanguard
Monday, Aug. 8. $40. 8PM and 10PM.

The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra began playing Monday nights at the Village Vanguard way back in 1966. At that time it was known as the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, since it was led by that trumpet and drum team. Jones and Lewis have long since gone to that great jam session in the sky, and the band now has a different name and lineup, but over 2700 Mondays later, they’re still filling the stage of the Vanguard with state of the art big band music. The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra plays every Monday night at the Village Vanguard.
