one of the truly great artists of the twentieth century
"Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.”

Thanks BD - hadn't seen the Kirk clips before.

Nat Hentoff has something to say on this which is a deserved accusation aimed at Wynton M for cutting Mingus at the Lincoln Centre

I missed that Bracknell Hoarded Dreams. Graham Collier did me a tape of it.
Thanks Graham - wherever you are!

I enjoy jazz but my experience of it is limited. I only took note of Mingus through his collaboration with Joni Mitchell including their T S Eliot 4 Quartets project which never materialised due to his early death. Unlike some, I liked her Mingus album very much. I only have one of his albums - The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady - quite recently acquired. It is a compelling piece of work.

itis indeed gurnemanzThe Black Saint And The Sinner Lady - quite recently acquired. It is a compelling piece of work.
you might consider these:
there are many other live recordings and studio albums but these are three of his finest
this is one of his finest smaller ensembles
