Bill Kirchner sent a link to a video. He accompanied it with a succinct message:<\/p>\n

\nThe reed section<\/strong>: Joe Henderson, Jerry Dodgion, Jerome Richardson, Eddie Daniels, Pepper Adams.

\nRhythm:<\/strong> Mel Lewis, drums; Roland Hanna, piano; Richard Davis, bass.
\nConductor:<\/strong> Thad Jones.
