April 22nd is Mingus´Birthday, he would be 99 years old.

I want to say that Charles Mingus was one of the first musicians that fascinated me, actually I first heard Miles and then Mingus, when I was about 16 years old.

This was the second Mingus album I had, and I still love it.

That was recorded while the Quiny Jones Orchestra performed in Belgrade.

I should listen to this again. As much as I remember Jackie plays alto AND tenor on the title track. And I think Curtis Fuller is also on this. 

Yep, he does...and Fuller is there too. It's a good album, definitely blues heavy.

David Murray - Ballads (DIW)
with Dave Burrell, Fred Hopkins, and Ralph Peterson, Jr.

I dig that album too. My first Mingus was Ah Um and it didn't really grab me. Wasn't until I heard the unedited workshop stuff on the Candid albums that I became a big Mingus fan.

Both are first US CD editions of these albums. I think they sound good.

Would any one here know how long singer Milt Grayson was with the Ellington band?  I have sometimes wondered why he did not become a a more famous singer.  I love his voice and especially love his work on "The Lonely Ones", heard on this CD.

This again:

Klaus Ignatzek Group - Jacaranda (Timeless, 1988)

I only discovered this record a few weeks ago, but I'm really digging it.  Claudio Roditi's presence is what drew me to it.  Per discogs, Roditi made more than 15 records (!) with Ignatzek -- and I'd never even heard of the German pianist until recently.

Many of Roditi's records with Ignatzek were trio recordings with Belgian bassist Jean-Louis Rassinfosse.  I've already ordered one of those discs too.

My first Mingus Album was "The Great Concert of Charles Mingus" from 1964 with Eric Dolphy, Cliff Jordan, Jakie Byard and Danny Richmond.

At that time, mid 70´s I was only 16 years old, I had only to records: Miles "Steamin´" and Mingus "Great Concert" (I had sold the 3 Oscar Peterson albums I had before, because they didn´t interest me anymore after hearing Red Garland on Miles´ "Steaming" and Jakie Byard with Mingus. It seems I was meant to get in some heavier stuff from the very start on. I said this is the greatest stuff I ever heard, those tempo changes, changes of moods, sometimes hard swinging, sometimes gettin almost into free jazz, it was MY GUIDE to the history of jazz (Parkeriana) and the then future of jazz (Meditations on Integration). So it was "Parkeriana" that I first heard or read about the name Charlie Parker, so I began to listen to Bird after I had heard Mingus......

"Miles Davis at Fillmore" was one of the first records I bought for my collection way back in the early 'seventies, and "Thursday Miles" was my favorite side. Today I'm listening to disc 2, the unedited "Thursday Miles" of this set, the Bootleg Series Vol. 3, the Japanese Blu-Spec CD2 version.

LOVE this music!
