kh1958

Most of Mingus' records are my favorites, but I think I've listened to these three the most: 1. Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus (Candid)--the quartet record recordings with Eric Dolphy and Ted Curson. 2. The Great Concert of Charles Mingus (America)--my favorite release from the incredible 1964 European tour. 3. Changes One/Two (Atlantic)--the last great Mingus band with George Adams and Don Pullen.

Willis Jackson, Legends of Acid Jazz--$3.49 Red Holloway, Legends of Acid Jazz--$1.99

I have 14 of the Prestige LPs and didn't realize I was missing so many.

Potts? I thought his first recorded appearances were with Alan Silva and Francois Tusques in Paris c. 1970. ← I would refer you to Hamilton's 1968 LP, Solid State SS 18043 - The Gamut, which features "Stephen Potts" on alto, along with Jan Arnett (of Booker Ervin "fame") on bass. Not in anyway reflective of Potts' work of years to come, but there he is! Steve Potts is on another Chico Hamilton LP on Solid State, The Head Hunter, with Ray Nance (!) and Eric Gales on guitar (I think, it's Eric Gayle on the recording), a fine record indeed.

The article inaccurately states he has not performed in Fort Worth since 1983--actually, he played multiple concerts in Fort Worth during 1983-1986.

In the mail today came, Dave Burrell's Margy Pargy on Splasch.

About a year and a half ago, at Smalls, with a trio of Italian musicians (he seemed to have played with them before)--he was playing well, all standards; I enjoyed the concert very much.

Thanks, that's the last Newborn Contemporary I was lacking.
