"Jazz Casual" is the title of a series of television broadcasts made by KQED TV in San Francisco of jazz performances by a variety of artists. The recording of a Woody Herman and his Swinging Herd appearance from 1963 and a Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra appearance from 1968 were combined and released as a single DVD video and also as an audio CD. The same material has also been released in different packages (e.g. a DVD of the Jones/Lewis Orchestra tracks combined with the 1961 appearance of the Dave Brubeck Quartet and the 1962 Modern Jazz Quartet appearance and another DVD including all 3 Woody Herman appearances from 1963 and 1964 which were both also part of an 8 DVD complete set of all 28 "Jazz Casual" TV episodes.)
