Now @Gheorghe put those glasses on this actually is the Mingus concert and not Waldrons Touch of the Blues 😜

Its been long ago I heard this and can’t say I really dig it. Not my favorite Mingus for sure.

Well I seldom need glasses, but it´s so astonishing similar, the photos.

I don´t have much Mal Waldron I think, I have him as Sideman on some older Mingusrecords and on a Max Roach record.

And I share your opinion, that Mingus with Friends in Concert is not our favourite.

I don´t know what went wrong, but I don´t feel Mingus on it.

Even on the standards only "Mingus at Carnegie 1974" with Perdido and C-Jam Blues I hear more Mingus drive than on that strange potpourrie from 1972.

Last night I finally had time to listen to a rarity I have purchased recently. It was not a second hand, but still sealed.

Very fine music, all of them.

It´s very interesting how Hank plays a much more agressive approach than in his earlier records. He sounds very modern, but it is still him, such a great musician, such a great musical personality.

I had heard Charles Davis once with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band, is that possible.

He is great on both soprano and bari. A seldom combination. Usually tenor saxophonists take soprano as a second horn. Because both are notated in Bb
