Gheorghe Posted August 29, 2022 Report Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) I like his arrangements for Mingus, and his composition "Song for Harry Carney" almost sounds like a Mingus original. I think, Mingus started almost each concert with this tune. The live versions are much more exiting that the studio version. Oh yeah, and recently I heard his arrangements on the "Lee Konitz Nonet" from the 70´s. A very good album. Edited August 29, 2022 by Gheorghe Quote
