kh1958

Gosh you were fortunate to have all those opportunities to see Mingus live. There are a couple of 1977 live performances on Wolfgang's Vault (at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and the Nice Jazz Festival).

A live Fatoumata Diawara song. I did not realize she was the lead guitarist in her band.

James P. Johnson, 1944 (Classics)

I think in the last three minutes or so of C Jam Blues, where Kirk is playing a multi-horn drone and Adams is soloing wildly.

Mdou Moctar, Afrique Victime (Matador)

I last saw John Handy and Charles McPherson play live in October of 2015, separately but within a couple of days of one another. Both sounded great. More recently, I don't know. Jon Faddis led the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band until it disbanded some years ago. Never heard it but from what I read it had a solid reputation and was superior to Wynton's repertory big band.

Jon Faddis is also still alive, as is John Handy.
