One of Thad Jones's first recordings for the Blue Note label, this mid-1950s set finds the revered jazz trumpeter in typically fine form. A Michigan native who relocated to the Big Apple (hence the title), Jones mixes a pair of Rodgers & Hart standards (the romantic "The Blue Room" and the weeper "Little Girl Blue") with a few solid originals, resulting in a top-notch bop record.
