Great Concert of Charles Mingus

[sal]

I'm sure someone here can help me. I have a release that came out a while ago on Revenge Records called "The Legendary Paris Concerts". This was a label started by Sue Mingus that was to release official versions of bootleged Mingus shows. Does anyone who is familiar with this release know if some of the stuff on this CD is duplicated on the new reissue of "Great Concert of...."?

no, the Revenge set has the April 17 1954 concert and the Universal Great Concert has the April 19 (18) 1954 concert.

Check this thread and follow the various links to previous threads mentioned there.

I had the same doubt when "The Great Concert" came out, actually they are two different 1964 Paris concerts: on ' "Revenge" you have the 4/17 concert at the Salle Wagram , on TGCOCM the 4/19 concert at Theatre des Champs-Elysees.

The April 19th concert on The Great Concert... is the better concert.
