MulligAn Thanks very incredible

Transcendental performance

Sounds like when my little cousin tries playing my bass.

he was in a better mood on this

Wait in your description it lists Joni Mitchell as the composer. She is NOT, it’s Mingus and ONLY Mingus.Joni was’t EVEN born when the Prez passed away.

I was very fortunate to see Mingus when I was 16, in 1973, at the Joyous Lake, a very small club, in the heart of Woodstock New York. My best friend's older brother worked there, and got us in to some great shows, but this was the very best. He was playing with some guys from Peru, and it was at the beginning of his exploration into cumbia and jazz fusion, of which he put an album out a few years later. They also seem to be enjoying one of Peru's main exports. I'll leave it at that.

Mingus at 6:03: "Get off the stage b'ys!

I took me sometime to understand and like Don Pullen's playing. But then... he got to be one of my piano heroes. Now, about Mingus -- I think, IMHO, that he is one of the greatest jazz composers of the XX century. His music clears my mind of everithing else, but the world that he creates with notes and rests. Danny Richmond was THE drummer who understood Mingus dynamics so well. No wonder that they remaining together for so many years, and that Mingus Dinasty was co-founded by him. Now, about this song -- I flipped out the first time I heard it; and I flipped out again when I heard Jeff Beck playing it out of nowhere...

Small wonder that Ellington was an idol-hero to Mingus. It was Duke who fathered the first important, virtuoso bass player in jazz, Jimmy Blanton, who died at the age of 23. But Duke instantly captured Blanton's unique, unprecedented talent by writing compositions for the band that featured the bass (not simply "open" choruses but complex arrangements in which Blanton would have a two-measure break and be the lead melody instrument in the ensemble: "Jack the Bear," "Ko-Ko," "Harlem Airshaft." Despite Duke's and Mingus's mutual admiration, Mingus was one of the very few musicians the non-contentious maestro ever fired from his band (the only other who comes to mind was Juan Tizol, and that occurred only because Tizol forced Duke to play his hand: "It's him (Cat Anderson) or me." Duke had no choice (had he fired with Cat, he would have looked like he was a servant to the wishes of any band member). Mingus was one of a mighty trio of bass players who emerged in jazz, practically simultaneously, on the heels of Blanton. The other 2? Ray Brown and Oscar Pettiford. P.S. It's a shame how seldom great musicians, even today, have the opportunity to perform before a movie camera. We can have cable TV with up to 2000 channels, with 20 or more devoted to music. Yet jazz (make that "instrumental music") is considered commercial suicide: if it is, blame the deaf ears of the public, not the instrumentalist who has labored for countless hours. Charlie Parker is filmed on a single 2-minute snippet ("Hot House") with Diz. I'd give anything to have a 2-3 minute movie of Hank Mobley. As far as channel choices, how often to you see the category: "The Great American Songbook." Yet that library has had such an integral, symbiotic relationship with jazz that it's impossible to think of one without the other. (Coltrane was indebted to Rodgers and Hart for "Giant Steps" and to Rodgers and Hammerstein for "My Favorite Things." A television series devoted to this unique, indigenous form of music composition--the American Popular Song--could dwell on a single composer per week. It would beginning with ragtime, Scott Joplin and Jelly Roll Morton. The 2nd week would be Irving Berlin.

I used to own a pork pie hat. My old grand auntie used to tease me about it every time she saw me wearing it.

5:58 Mount Mingus finally erupts! Epic :)

My father had a secret family recipe for pork pies and I swear to god I'm not makin this up he died 27 years ago I bet he knew this song

I know nothing about jazz except for what I like. Here is a question. Is it difficult to lead a band with a bass?

Total falta de noção e respeito, propagandas no meio da música. Irritante, abusivo e invasivo... Respeitem a obra e o ouvinte. Parem de fazer suas necessidades fisiológicas no meio da música... encontrem um lugar sem, mas não no meio da música. RESPEITO POR FAVOR!!!

caught mingus live in the d in a very intimate setting he played piano and bass at the session with his trio unforgettable musical night about 60 people there might as well been at his house

4:20 Mulligan shows some love.

awesomme

JJ, watched a "how to make" pork pie tv cook show. Tasty? Not sure, still I can taste it in this piece.

The real based god

charles mingus was a seer!!! don pullen as well! bunch of quacks!!

876,606 hits.... the master deserves the best

Benny Bailey is sooo damned good. He should really be a household name...just stellar.

che bella composizione!

???

i think you know what he mean... ;)

this the only performance of mingus live in youtube i think

Mon oh man... Nobody tells the American saga like Mingus. Nobody.

Mingus' face doesn't show anything, but a lot is said. It's interesting to see him occasionally catch himself and reflect on what he just played (sometimes it's easy to miss).

Charlie was a piano player too but loved the bass more. His bass lines are so full and melodic here.

so soulful :O

Jazz is like medicine to the soul.

Beautiful version of the classic. Mingus's bass playing is masterful (especially considering that he'd have to stop playing shortly after this). Benny Bailey's solo is one of dreamiest I've heard in jazz. A masterpiece. Lester would be proud!

mulligan was more saying is that where your taking it he was probably so into what the guy was playing

è foda mano ! vai curinthians

Supremely cool piano.
