Mingus spoken-word collaborations

[ghost of miles]

Hey all, I'm taping a Night Lights program devoted to Mingus' spoken-word collaborations (it will also include Mingus' "Freedom" piece, which CM read himself). I've got "Scenes From the City" with Melvin Stewart, "The Clown" with Jean Shepherd, and the half-LP with Langston Hughes... am I missing or overlooking anything?

There's the Candid Fables of Faubus.

Also, an alternative version Scenes in the City was issued on the recent Tijuana Moods reissue.

Cumbia and Jazz Fusion has a spoken word interlude.

I also recollect there being a spoken word piece on Music Written For Monterey 1965.

Do the spoken-word bits from the Hal Wilner WEIRD NIGHTMARE project count?

There's also 'The Chill of Death' from 'Let My Children Hear Music' but I guess that one was a spoken word collaboration with himself.

Does 'Passions of Man' count?

That's a good one.

I'm glad that Sue Mingus has reissued that concert, along with the UCLA concert.

GOSH!

The spoken intros from GREAT CONCERT are worth the price of admission themselves.

Put me down as a "Chill Of Death" kinda guy, too.

We have LET MY CHILDREN HEAR MUSIC over at the station (sadly a title that I have yet to pick up for myself), so I'm adding "Chill of Death" to the mix. Thanks much, as always, for the recs.
