A Child Is Born - Thad Jones/Mel Lewis

[NMedtner]

Does anyone have any information on a live recording of "A Child Is Born" by Thad Jones and Mel Lewis. My undergrad roommate had it on cassette tape so I was never able to learn the album title. It was a fairly noisy recording as I remember - plenty of crowd noise between tracks. But truly one of the most memorable recordings of this tune that I have ever heard.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It's on the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis album Consummation, which was just remastered and reissued by Blue Note last year. The listing for Consummation at Amazon is here. I don't know whether it's a live album or not, but if you're able, you can listen to soundclips at the Amazon site.

Hope that helps. Next time you have a question about a jazz album, I suggest that you post it in the Speak Out forum so that more people will see it.
