This song is one of the best examples of Mingus' signature work. Long head arrangements, great melodies, madcap blowing sequences. He tears the lid off the framework and fills it with his own potent brew.
There a few jazz musicians, who has composed works, that not every ordinary jazz musician nowadays are able to play. Eric Dolphy, Coltrane, Sun Ra and Charles Mingus are those guys who have gone beyond the real book standards...
I once went to a Mingus Festival and met his niece and this white lady who I assumed to be Sue. Later found out the other lady wasn’t Sue. She had told me she wasn’t even though I kept calling her Sue. (Didn’t even look like her) But she was a good sport about it.
This is brilliant playing all around, Jack Walrath in particular. I can listen to this all day and get something new every time. Too bad it ends abruptly though. Do you have the rest of it by any chance?

If somebody gives this a thumbs down, maybe they shouldn’t be watching it to begin with?
