Would anyone happen to have this recording? This is from another Pullen fan. I would love to hear this.
“I have an audience recording of Pullen playing at a Carnegie Hall Mingus tribute concert right after Mingus died in 1979. On Sue's Changes Pullen plays at a superhuman level---way above anything else I've ever heard him, or anyone else, do. I played it for a concert pianist friend who played with many of the great orchestras of the world from the 60s to the 80s and he said, "I don't see how one pianist could do that." I re-mastered this cassette myself so that it is fairly listenable and sometime I'll send you a copy. I don't have it here. I think Pullen was moved by the death of Mingus and went into one of those trancelike states where he was able to more than seems humanly possible. It's like the person who lifts a car to save a child trapped underneath it. A great treasure.”
