My son asked me to take him to visit the Charles Mingus memorial in Nogales, Az… so we did that today.

@God yes he does, especially for a youngster at 23

I saw Mingus live twice, in the early and mid-Seventies. He had an aura about him, like he was 50 feet tall, a force of nature. On one of the gigs his long-time drummer, Danny Richmond, was sick and absent. Mingus held the band together with the rhythm and beat from that bass like it was an unstoppable steam locomotive. Breathtaking.

Fuad Saba thanks for taking me there with you.

I was at this festival and saw this set. I met Mingus the next day at an sidewalk cafe across from the train station. He asked me where I was from and when I told him Vermont, he said wryly, "I think I know where that is." He was smoking a cigar. His hands were massive.

This is the first tune I learned to read music with, circa 1981. I first learned it on piano from a Fake Book. Decades later, I have learned to play it on harmonicas, on both diatonic and chromatic harps. My unrequited love number one, Joni Mitchell, wrote lovely lyrics for this tune. This is the ultimate "moody ballad". I practice it every day, always making new solos. I'm amused that some think this a difficult tune to play.

Gerry Mulligan digging his bandmate's solo..Love this version.

Yeah. It reflects so many wonderful qualities of the man and the genre.

Charles Mingus RIP!! You and Ray Brown and Paul Chambers are the reason i play bass!! This song is beautiful and Incredibly sad 😢, heartbreaking💔.

Mingus EVER has the best texture sounds in jazz.

I can’t understand why they chopped up this video into segments, the one I watched ended just before Mulligans solo. No link to the other segments missing from this piece or to the recording of the whole Mingus set. A really puzzling stupid decision.

The record ain't too shabby, like it better.

The pianist is Don Pullen, a frequent collaborator with tenor saxophonist George Adams. The sound mixer seems to have been asleep, missing Walrath in the opening ensemble. Benny Bailey, Mulligan, Pullen, and, of course, Mingus are that standouts. Great to see video of Mingus stalwart Danny Richmond.

Bailey's out of this world, incredible everything here

This is great. I really love Benny Bailey, and his work on the trumpet.

Lengendary! - if mystical, even. A truly sublime bandstand of masterclass improvisational artistry. And, Milligan's kaleidoscopic range of facial expressions easily conjure a precious utopic one moment in time. We're extremely obligatory to technology that allows constant visual-audio playback! Undoubtedly, Mingus would be proud of this lineup special; and with Mitchell's socially captivating lyric their collaboration is almost etched in Jazz Folklore.

Don Pullen was a master, for sure. Really beautiful...

Fico aqui pensando no que o Mulligan deve ter pensado ao ouvir o solo do Benny: "faz isso comigo não véi, assim você me faz chorar". Solo maravilhoso de lindo.

Heureux ceux qui étaient présents 😮

Tune written as a Tribute to Lester.. allstar group plays this so well.. in particular Benny B. underrated very much.

Love to see Gerry Mulligan in a good mood !

una muy buen tributo to Lester Young

Lovely in 2023 . Humanistic

Maria Muldaur played the set just before his. Her band was supposed to play the first weekend of the festival but their equipment got lost in transit. So they fit the band in on the last night, Sunday, July 20. The crowd was hardcore jazz enthusiasts. The entire audience starting loudly booing. They turned up the house lights. It was like a bathroom break. I was embarrassed for her and her band. She was crying. Her guitar player was cursing the crowd.

Eu queria ser o Gerry Mulligan.

6:01 OMG

super

Why can't we get to hear the end

An ad in the middle? That is blasphemy!!! And it is for worship piano! WTH?

AWESOME! I haven't heard it before! Just Joni, Jaco, Pat, Michael & Lyle version. What to do now? Haeven is endless: both versions are the best.
