Where it came from
Released in 1967 on the United Artists label, this collaboration captured the intersection of blues-inflected vocal jazz and the progressive big band sound spearheaded by the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. At the time of recording, the orchestra was established as a premier resident ensemble at the Village Vanguard in New York City, and this album served as a bridge between their sophisticated, brass-heavy arrangements and the soulful, authoritative delivery of veteran vocalist Joe Williams.
The album was designed to highlight the collaborative energy between Williams and the highly virtuosic arrangements of Thad Jones. Jones, known for his intricate, harmonically dense compositions, provided a fresh, modern canvas for Williams, who was seeking to transcend his earlier association with the Count Basie Orchestra. Upon release, the record was well-received by critics who noted the technical precision of the big band, cementing the ensemble's reputation as one of the most influential jazz orchestras of the late 1960s.
