Mingus

1977, it might be from that last year when Mingus was able to play, with his last band with Jack Walrath, Ricky Ford, Bob Neloms and Dannie Richmond.

Looking at the photo and seeing the kinky afro hair style I think it was during that time, since one or two years earlier his hair was shorter.

I remember it well, they usually performed extended live versions of the long title tunes from the commercially released 1977 albums "Two or Three Shades of Blues" and "Cumbia and Jazz Fusion". Usually they started with "Song for Harry Carney". The band was really strong.
