Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra - 1969 - Rotterdam (The Netherlands)

The Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra in Rotterdam (De Doelen), 9 September 1969.

Dutch radio (re?)broadcast (announcements by Hans Mantel). Complete concert except for the first piece ("Three In One") which wasn't broadcast, but served as a sort of sound-check for the engineers.

I received this in a trade on CD from someone in Australia, now years ago, so don't know anything about its origin or whether this has been on Dime before.

Enjoy!
