Charles Mingus

Everything from this group/tour is an exciting listen.

This Get Back Stuttgart sounds pretty good:

As EC notes, the new Bremen sounds decent. Great music.

The 3lp Amsterdam set is on DIW. The 2 lp set on Ullyse is incomplete. The 2 cd set is complete but it appears to be a needle drop.

There's a single third LP on Ulysse complementing the 2LP set:

"Concertgebouw", Amsterdam, Holland, April 10, 1964

Parkeriana (Dedicated To A Genius) Ulysse Musique (F) AROC 50506/07

So Long Eric -

Orange Was The Color Of Her Dress, Then Blue Silk -

Meditations (Meditation On A Pair Of Wire Cutters) -

Fables Of Faubus, Pt. 1 Ulysse Musique (F) AROC 50608

Fables Of Faubus, Pt. 2 -

A.T.F.W.U.S.A. (A.T.F.W.Y.O.U.) -

Sophisticated Lady -

* Charles Mingus - Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Vol. 1 (Ulysse Musique (F) AROC 50506/07)

* Charles Mingus - Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Vol. 2 (Ulysse Musique (F) AROC 50608)

I think that IS complete, no?

Yes, the DIW set has the same titles except that it refers to "Parkeriana" as "Ow".

Didn't know about the third Ulysse lp. I have a 2-lp gatefold on Ulysse/East Coasting that's missing "Fables" and "Sophisticated Lady"

Stuttgart is the one to hear...worth getting a turntable for that one. Unreal version of "Fables...".

Stuttgart is one of the hottest shows from the tour, but why do you say turntable?

My bad. I didn't know about any cd issues. The question would be is this a needle drop from the old Unique Jazz lp's or is it from a complete source? "So Long Eric", "Meditations" and "These Foolish Things" are all truncated on the lp's.

So Long Eric 30:00/22:50

Mediations 30:15/20:15

These Foolish Things 7:00/3:30

These timings per Lindenmaier.

I finally got a copy of Stuttgart Meditations ($3.00 on ebay for a new copy), and it does sound decent--way better than my horrible Unique Jazz LP pressings.
