The Bethlehems, along with the early Atlantics, were Mingus becoming Mingus - although I'd say that about some of the early West coast recordings too.

Great series!

Mingus: Music Written for Monterey 1965 Somewhat sloppily played and poorly recorded Mingus music blows away a lot of other perfectly played and well recorded music.

I guess that different people hear things in different ways. For me, after David Ruffin left, they were just a Norman Whitfield production outfit.

Same here.

For me, the Temptations were never the same and lost me after David Ruffin left.

Buck Clayton with Buddy Tate: Buck & Buddy Blow the Blues

Ornette & Prime Time: Opening the Caravan of Dreams Free R&B - "Harmolodic Bebop" is nuts - in the most complimentary use of that word.

MATTHEW SHIPP TRIO with Roscoe Mitchell at Zankel Hall (Jan. 27, 9 p.m.). As part of Carnegie Hall’s performance series “The ’60s: The Years that Changed America,” Mr. Shipp, a pianist, adds a special guest to his trio. Mr. Mitchell, a saxophonist and composer, helped found the seminal Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians in Chicago in 1965. Since then, his seeking intellect and sensitive ear have led him to a multitude of projects and recordings. He has that prolificacy in common with Mr. Shipp, a rugged free improviser in his own right, and one of the more influential members of the New York jazz scene over the past 30 years. 212-247-7800, carnegiehall.org
