The Fabulous Thad Jones is the debut album by American jazz trumpeter Thad Jones recorded in 1954 and originally released on Charles Mingus' Debut Records label as a 10-inch LP.

The Fabulous Thad Jones (Debut DLP-12) was initially released with a total of 6 tracks recorded on 11 August 1954.

The 12 inch LP version, Thad Jones (Debut DEB 127), included an additional 4 tracks taken from a 10 March 1955 recording session that had previously been released as Thad Jones/Charles Mingus - Jazz Collaborations, Vol.

The 12 inch re-issue also replaced the original "Get Out of Town" with an alternate take and included an unedited version of "One More Time" different from that on the ...Jazz Collaborations... release.

[3][4] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow of the CD reissue, which also compiles tracks from Jones' second LP, stated: "The 12 performances (which include two alternate takes) really put the focus on Jones' accessible yet unpredictable style".
