Great, indeed.

We forget what a groundbreaking, technical bassist Mingus was. His playing is often overlooked for his compositions…..

Thankfully I got to see Mingus and Dannie in NYC With Roland Kirk! A frightening experience that stays with me 50 years later....

When Eric Dolphy puts on his sunglasses, you can tell he's about to warp the space/time fabric.

One hears so much in Eric Dolphy's performance. The whole linage of Jazz was in him.

After so much noise pollution in my daily life, this really clears out the mental cobwebs. It's like cleansing my brain. Much Appreciated!

Yes, apparently unknown to him at this time right here, two months before he passed, Eric had a very serious diabetic problem that was not diagnosed and that’s what killed him. Yes, the stupid German doctors didn’t help by assuming he was a drug addict and giving him other stuff, but his diabetes would’ve killed him eventually anyway…..

After 60 years this concert but slaps harder now

Never seen this . Ive been listening to Dolphy since about 1972 . Wow !

Rest in infinite peace Eric Dolphy & Charles Mingus. Salutations to all passed.

Dannie Richmond is a great and underrated drummer, possibly because he spent most of his career with Mingus.

Hearing about what happened to Eric Dolphy is so sad. Every time I see him play, knowing what happened, it gives the song a sad undertone. He was a musical great the likes of which this world may never see again and he was stolen from us. I hope wherever he is he can look down and see the influence of his work continuing to change things for the better. He will always be missed.

Clifford Jordan and Eric Dolphy in the horn section. It doesn't get any better than that!

Im rather speechless. Feel blessed I saw this. Thank you very much. 👍🏽

I would like to know from which year is this recording?

There's a video of Eric telling Charles that he was going to go out on his own and form his own group. Charles, known to be quite oppressive at times, was busting his balls about his recent musings about leaving. Mingus was a great mentor to Eric and I'm sure he was really just trying to boost Eric's self confidence in the only way he knew how.

Dolphy gets more out of whatever instrument hes playing in just 4 bars than any musician of his day. What a breath of fresh air he was.

Gratitude

Mingus played with all the major influencers in this music, so it's such a treat to hear him with these musicians. Dolphy would have been the new template, and he was a true multi - instrumentalist. I love some of Byard's voicings - especially the thick crunchy chords. Richmond is a wonderful drummer with Mingus. All of the musicians here are examples of what needs to be seen now, more than ever.

And I love jaki on piano but the whole band is totally awesome.

The fact that all of.this exists is just fantastic

Great to see Jaki Byard footage. I’ve only seen him at the Berlin Piano Festival, 1965.

This is so crazy to watch... thanks so much for the upload. Colorizing this really makes it seem like they're closer and more "real" for some reason and it's super cool.

@@jonaszepog1829 It was not in this artificial colour. Such a process is a distortion of a historical document, and while it might create the illusion of less distance it actually removes us further from the genuine event as recorded at the time. If there is any sanity left in the world (yes, I know), then musicians of this calibre do not and will not require fake colour and other falsification to preserve their reputations.

Completely knocks me out. Dolphy leaves the planet.

such a joy to witness these 5 masters interplay so magically. Mingus always great geniu leader. So grateful I got a chance to see his Fridat sessions at the Five Spot. But this performance is at a whole pther level. Thank you for showing it.

@LawrenceCarroll1234

@@beanstalk7893 , it is largely self explanatory - simply being less tied to conventions, like a regular tempo. For me personally it is similar (though hardly identical) to the progressive rock era of the late sixties and early seventies mostly (though it still exists & probably always will) where pieces often either progressed from a definite initial structure before branching out into a much less defined extended jam session, then returned back into the original, more crystalized initial phase. But that is only an analogy. But to get the general idea, that to me would be a good start. Jazz obviously predated rock, so some might find that comparison insulting, just as some jazz aficionados found Miles Davis’s foray into fusing jazz with rock distasteful; and some folk aficionados were shocked/depressed by Bob Dylan’s embrace of electric instruments. In short, it is simply about greater freedom.

Amazing!!

I am still moved by "Meditation" after I first listened to it on a Mingus album I used to have (with the solid dark brown cover) back in the 1970s. I think this quintet is the best ensemble I have ever heard. God, do I love Eric Dolphy!

For those who like Dolphy, go listen to Michel Portal on Dockings: a really good musician with a Dolphy like album, especially the piece Dolphy and Mutinerie, but all the album is a treasure of discovery, like ED always did. You will be served as you wish.

This recording is amazing! Thanks for posting this! Mingus was amazing and Dolphy was ahead of time. The other musicians are great too. Beautiful

Да, именно игра Эрика Долфи главная фишка того состава. Но только отмечу, что именно в коллективе музыкантов Мингуса он и проявил свои лучшие качества, верно и обратное-этот состав намного лучше вместе с ним. Короче говоря, потрясающая музыка получилась

I'm not sure, but this was Eric Dolphy last performance along with mingus band. After this, he remained in Europe to perform with other musicians, he had good plans. Unfortunately, he died a few months after in Berlin in a sure avoidable death. That means this "Meditations on integration" solo was his last, which is just amazing.

In 1964 I was living in N.Y. and I saw Danny Richmond walking down the street and I decided to follow him. His arms had a load in them and he stopped and stared at this store front for a few minutes. I was on the other side of the street so I didn't know what he was staring at. When he left I crossed the street to see what was there. It was a dry cleaner and the sign on the door said CLOSED.
