The Complete Poland Concerts, 1976 and 1978 is a compilation of the complete live recordings made by the Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra in Poland in August 1976 and October 1978. Two additional tracks from a 1978 Berlin concert round out the album.
Most of the 1978 Poland concert tracks and the two Berlin tracks were previously released outside Poland on WestWind Jazz releases, A Touch of Class and Body and Soul respectively. The 1976 Sopot (Jazz Jantar) tracks had previously been available only on a domestic Polish release from PolJazz.
