medjuck Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) In the 2nd episode of the Scorcese/Lebowitz series Pretend it's a City she tells a couple of great stories about Mingus one of which involves Ellington. BTW There's a clip of Mingus playing "Secret Love". Did he ever record that song? (When I searched Discogs for "Mingus-- Secret Love" I got the movie it's from. When I tried the same thing in Amazon I got a bunch of sex toys.) Edited January 14, 2021 by medjuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) This is what I found: Lennie's-on-the-Turnpike (P) soundtrack Info All The Things You Are (Kern) Peggy's Blue Skylight Take The "A" Train (Strayhorn) Secret Love Portrait unknown title Personnel Lonnie Hillyer - trumpet except 4 Charles McPherson - alto sax except 4 John Gilmore - tenor sax except 2,4,5 Walter Bishop - piano except 1,2 Charles Mingus - bass, piano, vocals Dannie Richmond - drums Date and location November 1966, Lennie's-on-the-Turnpike, Peabody, Massachusettes (1-5) and November 21, 1966, Mingus's loft, New York City Comments The soundtrack of the film Mingus also includes excerpts from the 1960 recording of "Half-Mast Inhibition", the 1962 Town Hall 'Freedom', and the 1965 UCLA 'Don't Let It Happen Here'. https://mingus.onttonen.info/leader.html And also: https://www.openculture.com/2012/08/charles_mingus_evicted_in_1966_film.html Seems that tune is only recorded at this performance at Lennie's by Mingus . . . ?

Amazon must work differently for you, or you put the word 'sex' into your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I just put in "Mingus, Secret Love". That usually works for finding music tracks. (Though maybe "Secret Love" was in quotes and maybe a colon or dash after Mingus.)

bertrand Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Going back to Mingus This is a VIDEO clip of Mingus playing Secret Love? I think I remember some footage from Lennie's in the Mingus film. Could it be the whole concert was filmed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
