Hardbopjazz Posted May 16, 2019 Report Posted May 16, 2019 What time frame would you think this photo is from of Barron Charles Mingus? Quote
Gheorghe Posted May 16, 2019 Report Posted May 16, 2019 1977, it might be from that last year when Mingus was able to play, with his last band with Jack Walrath, Ricky Ford, Bob Neloms and Dannie Richmond. Looking at the photo and seeing the kinky afro hair style I think it was during that time, since one or two years earlier his hair was shorter. I remember it well, they usually performed extended live versions of the long title tunes from the commercially released 1977 albums "Two or Three Shades of Blues" and "Cumbia and Jazz Fusion". Usually they started with "Song for Harry Carney". The band was really strong. Quote
sonnymax Posted May 16, 2019 Report Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) This photo was taken by Kathy Sloan at the Keystone Korner in 1975. It's fairly easy to find such info with a google image search. Edited May 17, 2019 by sonnymax Quote
