The Arista contains an extra track too from the earlier session ("Closer"). Levinson plays on sidelong versions of "Blood" and "Mr. Joy."
There is a Black Lion cd titled Touching including the material on the Arista double minus the extended "Mr. Joy". Inexpensive copies abound.
The original stereo master for Mingus Presents Mingus was lost at some point. Mosaic used the mono masters since the remaining stereo copies were not good.
Ann and I had a great lunch with Rooster Ties, Eric, Spontooneous and Hot Ptah!
We had a great time and it was wonderful meeting Spontooneous and Hot Ptah.
Thanks guys.
In Chicago at our daughter's place. On the way to KC and my brother's place. Next week drive to Iowa and visit Ann's family. Back to Chicago for the holiday and home for the month of June.
