An album featuring the music of VJO's pianist conductor Jim McNeely. McNeely has given the VJO some remarkable pieces to play on "Up From the Skies," and the ensemble (which of course began life as the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra in 1966) more than returns the favor with stirring solo work and a loving attention to the often exquisite details of McNeely's orchestral thinking.
