Kreilly Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 I don't think I ever noticed how many far-out charts there are on this album. If you like Mingus Dynasty you should check out "Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife" also a CBS Jazz masterpiece edition. It contains the unedited versions of several songs from Mingus Dynasty. Mingus edited over 3 minutes out of "Things Ain't What They Used To Be," a minute and a half out of "Slop," a minute out of "Gunslinging Bird," and two and a half minutes out of "Song With Orange." All of these edits are restored on "Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife". Quote

I just checked, the box set has the full versions. I guess my earlier version AND my copy of Shoes are both now disposable. Shoes was always an odd release with that one track from 1971 thrown in there. Edited July 24, 2006 by Kreilly Quote
Guy Berger Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) Does anyone know why Jimmy Knepper takes two solos on "Things Ain't What They Used to Be"? I really love John Handy's alto playing near the end of "Mood Indigo". It's too bad that the rest was edited out. "Diane" has one of Mingus's most beautiful melodies.
