The Magnificent Thad Jones is an album by American jazz trumpeter Thad Jones recorded on July 14, 1956 and released on Blue Note later that year.

[3] The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states, "this quintet makes truly great jazz music together...

The musicianship being at such a lofty plateau, so intelligently selected and executed, this CD is a must-have for every collection, and is generally regarded as the very best work of Jones, later big-band recordings with Mel Lewis notwithstanding.
