Re: What's a rehearsal band??

Rehearsal Bands in New York were usually all-star groups of the busiest guys in town who wanted to play music their way, not the way they were highly paid to play. Thad and Mel's band existed because of the love for Thad's writing.
Clark Terry and Duke Pierson's band operated for the same reasons. Pro's having fun!
