Description: On the cover of *The Magnificent Thad Jones*, the trumpeter stands poised on Broadway at West 47th Street, right in the glow of mid-1950s Times Square, as if he’s about to step off the sidewalk and into a late-night set. Neon marquees and crowded sidewalks echo the tight, bright horn charts and urbane swing that made this 1956 Blue Note session a small masterpiece of post-bop elegance. Standing on this corner today, you can almost hear his trumpet lines weaving through the traffic noise like they once did through cigarette smoke and clinking glasses. This is one of the featured stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
