I agree that Faddis quickly wore thin on the Carnegie Hall expanded reissue. Hopefully he will be better here. Whether he is or not is not going to quell my interest. It's a little documented different Mingus group (Foster on piano and Roy Brooks instead of Dannie). Plus at least one otherwise unrecorded composition (Mindreaders Convention in Milano, and I do recall reading a review of the engagement that raved about this composition). Faddis is better than the guy on Mingus Moves but I still love that record.
Nope.
After waiting 49 years, I can wait until year 50.
JazzTimes will have to re-print all its issues, I guess.
Live at Chateauvallon has a quartet version of this group (McPherson/Foster/Brooks) and it is quite excellent. Adding Bobby Jones is a plus for me.
According to an ad in JazzTimes, on December 3 Resonance is releasing Charles Mingus, Noddin' Ya Head: The Lost Album from Ronnie Scott's, a 3CD set. The band is Bobby Jones, Charles McPherson, John Foster, Roy Brooks, and Jon Faddis.

Good in every way.
Dave Brubeck, Two Knights at the Blackhawk (Fantasy)
Count Basie, Basie's Best (Olympic). A budget looking LP seemed unlikely to be Basie's best, but it is live in 1937 with Lester Young and Herschel Evans, and pretty well recorded.

I've never found anything in his music that appeals to me. I don't like his songs, his voice, his guitar playing (even though I've heard over and over again that Prince is a great guitar player, I've never heard a solo I liked). I pretty much detached from American popular music in the early 1970s. Basically nothing that comes after that appeals to me, and that includes Prince.
