Didn’t the master tapes for that one go missing back in the early 1970s due to negligence? - or maybe it was even earlier around the time of Mingus’ eviction. There’s a thread somewhere on this site telling the full story and I recall board member Brownie mentioning that he got a copy of the original LPs by mail from Mingus himself, complete with letter !

 

Yes, I believe the story was the tapes (and other unrelated tapes) were stored with Capitol records and someone there ordered their destruction without contacting the owners, including Mr. Mingus.

I love James Moody and must admit, that my first hearing experience was from the legendary "Miles Davis-Tadd Dameron" in Paris 1949, which came out in 1977. 

I had not heard about Moody before and was astonished how modern he sounds, and I had heard Dave Liebman live on several occasions before and he was then my favourite Saxophonist, and I was astonished that some "scream" in Moody´s solos almost reminded me of Liebman and other post Coltrane saxophonists.....

Later I saw Moody on several occasions, very often with Dizzy. 

One fantastic live concert was 1999 at the Viennese Jazzland, my wife and me were in the first row. 

During that time, it was the most normal thing that you smoke in a jazz club. And when Moody was scheduled, we were told NOT to smoke. 

Art Farmer was there and had a long talk with Moody during intermission. It was the last time I saw him, he died shortly after that. 

After the concert, Moody shook my wife´s and my hands and said "Thank you for not smoking" and we said "WE MUST THANK YOU, it was WONDERFUL".

One year later, my wife and me were in Miami and Moody was in town. I think it was "Van Dyke´s" on Lincoln Road. Before the concert startet, we were allready there and here comes James Moody with his bags and spotted us, came to our table, shook our hands and said "You were in Vienna last year. Art Farmer was there" Yes, we said, it´s so sad he died. 

But isn´t that incredible ? Mr Moody, who played hunderts of gigs for millions of people, recongnized us two a year later on an other continent.......

Of course I have this. But for me it  is not as fine as Monterey 1964, or the also from 1965 "My Favourite Quintet". Of course there are great moments, but it´s even more chaotic than "Town Hall 1962". And on some pieces Mingus put down his bass and played piano. And otherwise, the wonderful piano of Jakie Byard is missing. And some of it sounds quite abstract like "The Art of Tatum and Freddie Webster"...... sounds a bit strange....
