Opening Night is a big band jazz recording of the Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra playing at the Village Vanguard club in New York City in February 1966. This was the first performance of the group at this club although the recording was not released until 2000.[2] A 40+ year tradition for Monday nights at the Village Vanguard began from this first evening for the Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra which later became the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra and eventually the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.
