I think that run OOP quite quickly.

Well I don´t have it but seeing the tunes, anyway it´s the music I heard him play live in those years, maybe not the Antabus or what it is, which anyway is a c-minor blues.

Interesting! 

I have it but dont spin it often. Somehow I have the impression that it is not really Mingus the way I was used to hear him. And somehow in the liner notes, the way they listed the solo orders is very strange.

BFT discussion nudge? 

I'm a big fan of the Midorikawa but I have the CD set with extra material. The LP would be nice.

I don't know the Yamada duos but do know the musicians so I'm intrigued.

Glad that bft contributed at least a little. Thanks for posting these albums as Ive not heard them before, nor most of the artists. Discoveries like this are always nice.

looks like the extra material is a 40 minute duo with Togashi -- wow. Surprised that didn't make it to LP back in the 70s but go figure.

One of my faves: 

When I was young, the leading avantgarde musician from Austria, Fritz Novotny (Reform Art Unit) pulled my coat to that record. He was pleased that I like Jackie McLean. 

He even composed a tune dedicated to Jackie.

Well, I composed a tune dedicated to Pharoah Sanders 🤣

Fritz Novotny was a sideline mentor of mine. He made me really listen more and more to Free Jazz, to HIS music. Imagine, he played Free Jazz as early as 1959, and that on the old continent, when the stuff was brand new even in the States. 

I miss him.

And I miss Jackie. Saw him often perform.
