The coda of "Roll on the Left Side" is a riot.

The strange thing is, that I had heard at least one title from this album "live" (Three or Four Shades of the Blues), but when the album came out in the same year I think I first was a bit reluctant to buy it. I was afread that the use of two basses might marr the music of Mingus, and all those hippie guitarists on the cover photo also didn´t encourage me, same like that "Grandpa" with the cigarette in the mouth (that´s how I saw it then).

Mingus made a lotta money with that album, but the band as a quinted sounded much more exiting. 

But it has a special place in my small collection since this and "Cumbia" was what I had heard live and the grossly overproduced studio albums at least let hear some glimpses of the REAL MINGUS.

It’s cool again! Up earlier than I’d like but that’s my new routine with the old dog.

Looks like this came out yesterday!  I should see if I can get in touch with Neil and have him bring a few along when he plays The Rex with Pat LaBarbera in mid Sept.

It's a good one. Of the three recordings under Neil's leadership, I think this one may be the best (or at least the one I most enjoyed at first listen). Not that there's anything wrong with the other two! 

Now:

On CD.  This is one of my favorite Mingus recordings. Not only the title track, but the Todo Modo music is excellent, too, in my view. And the CD includes a shorter alternate take.

I've seen this claim (that Here for a While is his third recording) but I think people are not counting Red Shift and probably not Tranquility where Neil is co-leader with Don Thompson (but still gets first billing).

I've been streaming a lot of Zorn lately, but I just ordered Tomeka Reid's Old New off of Bandcamp, so I'm listening to that right now.
