For some reason, this album usually gets overlooked among all the focus on Blue Note records. It is a very fine recording with some wonderful playing by Thad, Gigi Gryce, & Tommy Flanagan. It also features some of my favorite playing by Elvin Jones.

I have it, but must admit I have not spinned it for quite some time. 
I had seen Thad Jones with his Bigband with Mel Lewis and I think that´s how he will be remembered by most of all fans. 

I think I also have a Debut record that is called "The Fabulous Th.J." 
He was a great trumpet player but maybe got a bit forgotten. Jazz students might listen more to the other BN-Artists who were trumpetists, like Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard or from the generation of Thad Jones maybe to Kenny Dorham or even Fats Navarro.

“Swiss Radio Days Vol. 48 - Louis Armstrong All Stars” Dot Time cd

New release. . . slightly different lineup with McCracken on clarinet. . . sound is good (Louis could be a little louder when singing).

Nice glasses.

What's old is new I guess. They remind me of the glasses my late aunt wore back in the 70s. She also had hoop earrings that were about the same size as the glass frame. :)
