Extra extended version before a live college audience. Ensemble improvs within the framework of the arrangement modules only possible because this band was so tight and led by Mingus. Virtuoso musicianship!
Hands down the Epitome of JAZZ music, no, MUSIC ever produced. Solos are UNREAL. Johnny, Jaki, Clifford, CHARLIE, and then wait for it, finally, ERIC DOLPHY.
1964 was a magical year for this band. Right before Dolphy went out in his own, the group did an amazing tour in Europe, much of which is available on UA-cam. If you like Cornell - it’s great - check out Europe.
Glad to find this, thanks, there aren't a lot of "Fables of Faubus" online from '64 tour. I added to youtube playlist and discography, search "mingus dolphy 1964 tour" Or just click on my name to get to mingus playlists. I love any recording with Dolphy on bass clarinet.
the best live recording I listened, Right Now, found it in sales. I don't remember the line up but that day, they were all in fire. An, more than underrated, almost unknown pianist, Jane Getz (nothing to do with Stan), she played impressively.

Pure Eric Dolphy bass clarinet tour-de-force throughout this stretched out saga.

This version quotes just about every song out there.

Great music from some real legends. Clifford Jordan is underrated.
The way they all play off of each other and still keep true to the song is nothing short of amazing, truly some of the best musicians who ever were.
As with Wes Montgomery, one gets maximum groove and depth, swing with a Mingus group.
I agree, @jay1beaux . Clifford Jordan is sadly underrated. I also think Jaki Byard deserves more credit as a pianist...

Probably Ted Curson on Trumpet, Jaki Byard, Mingus, Dannie Richmond. With the before mentioned Clifford Jordan and Eric Dolphy
Amazing!
Happy Birthday, Eric Dolphy!

True
Where was this performance? Bailey Hall ? Willard Strait?
The general consensus is Bailey Hall though nobody really knows for certain.
