kh1958

We are talking about this CD, not the one above:

I do have the LP reissue. It included an EP (33 and 1/3) which has the Monterey Jazz Festival version of They Trespass the Land of the Sacred Sioux, in two parts. This is the only release of this song, to my knowledge. In addition, the anthology, Monterey Jazz Festival, 40 Legendary Years, has another song from the Monterey performance: Don't Let It Happen Here. The online Mingus discography says: Tracks recorded at the Monterey festival (owned by VOA) are: The Arts Of Tatum And Freddie Webster Don't Let It Happen Here (Malpaso 9362-46703-2) They Trespass The Land Of The Sacred Sioux (East Coasting EP ECEP-1) When The Saints Go Marchin' In

What? The album was recorded for and released on Mingus' private label back in the 1960s. For many years, this was probably the most obscure Mingus recording. Much later, Sue Mingus reissued it on LP (I believe with the Jazz Record Center), dubbed from a clean original LP, as the concert tape could not be found. The Sunnyside release is the CD version of that reissue.

Yes definitely for the music. The Mingus version of a brass band, it's different from his other bands. It is a needle drop, however, so not the best audio.

The SmallsLIVE Foundation Newsletter Dear Friends: As I got ready to write my weekly newsletter I heard the news about bassist Juini Booth passing. It kind of took the wind out of my sails. I've known Juini since I was a young man and he was always very kind to me. I remember the first time I'd ever even heard of Juini Booth was when I was 18 years old and knew the McCoy Tyner "Live at Montreux" with Juini Booth on bass. He gets a long and rhapsodic bass solo interlude between McCoy's expansive compositions. Playing with a beautiful tone and soulful melody - it's one of those solos that has stayed inside me all my musical life. The first time I met him on the streets of the East Village, at some session in some dive bar, I couldn't believe I was meeting him. I sang his solo for him note for note. He looked pleased and smiled. From that time we were always friends and he always called me "Michael" rather than my more familiar nickname, Spike. As I developed over the years we were friendly and did play together on occasion. When I took over Smalls I began to book his groups through the years. He always had a friendly and affectionate "hello, Michael", whenever I saw him. More recently I saw him during the blur that was COVID. He came by the club when New York was deserted and offered words of encouragement. His peaceful and gentle demeanor and slender frame - with beboppers heart and the soul of the warrior musician. I will miss this person and another window in the rapidly fading old New York. Rest in Peace, my friend - Juini Booth. Spike Wilner

I wonder if he has ever heard Sonny Sharrock (solo on title track)?

The Mingus Dynasty edition I heard also was quite excellent; I went to four sets. Richard Davis, as I recall, sounded magnificent.

Meanwhile, the now homeless (since Jazz Standard closed) Mingus Big Band makes return appearance. Thursday, July 29th @ DROM NYC JOIN IN A NIGHT OF MYSTIC UNITY // Through the decades Mingus Big Band has become a local New York City institution, playing weekly to electrified audiences and sold out houses. With residencies at Fez under Time Cafe, Iridium, and most recently a nearly 12 year run at the world-class Jazz Standard, only God and a world health crisis could slow these wild and cunning celebrations of the life and legacy of Great American Composer, Charles Mingus. In a much anticipated and triumphant return to the New York City stage, finally again we can swim in the rhythmic vibrations as the party reunites and is more charged up than ever. We are thrilled to announce Mingus Big Band at DROM’s Summer Jazz Series on Thursday, July 29th!

There is a very good old style stereo store in North Dallas (Forest Lane and Preston Road) that I patronize--Audio Concepts. It's a low key, friendly place, that gives good advice within whatever budget you specify. Their range is from modest prices to ultra-expensive. I've been going there for more than two decades.
