I appreciate and thank Europeans for the many films of American music geniuses we ignored

Yup Europe recognized jazz geniuses. In Poland Miles davis was treated like a King, like he deserved. He was surprised, he mentioned it in his biography

I agree. Could it be that America was still fighting a “civil” war 100 years after THE Civil War”? I was born one before this recording was made and I feel that progress has been slow. I find Europe to be open minded socially (in general) and does a better job of taking care of its people. I like to go to France; the kids tend to be well behaved, the bread doesn’t give me an upset stomach, fruits and vegetables taste like they should, meals are not rushed, etc. sorry for the tangent. It’s nice the see the performance and not just hear it. Miss the class.

I was vibesman in the rhythm section at a gig in Amsterdam, the Engelebevaarder Cafe, late 80’s. Suddenly our drummer, King Mock, looked out the window and said to us, “Hey man, Woody Shaw! “ And Danny Richmond, who took over the drums for the rest of the night! Imagine. Woody played about four numbers with us, but I can tell you that Danny drove us to the heights. Unforgettable.

My bass when it's real
The way mingus always changes the tempo so radically is what’s always blown me away. And for all,of KZread’s inexcusable censorship, we simply had NO access to this material before!
Sheer magic! Metaphysical playing! Unparallelled. Everytime I listen to them it’s like reading philosoply.
I didn't realize it until seeing the colorized version of this set that Johnny Coles suffered from vitiligo. A stellar trumpet player truly in the technically artistic vein of Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. Unsung in the annals of jazz, but certainly worthy of recognition for his interpretation of the art form. Rest in peace my brother. 🎺
This friggin AMAZING thanks again to the Europeans for documenting American music.
Thanks for posting. I love watching my Great Uncle Little Johnny Coles play.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

The best concert of this sextet i ever heard! It's all jazz music about! Dolphy kills!
Fantastic piano stride solo by Jaki Byard on Take "A" Train and lush bass clarinet solo by Eric Dolphy. Mingus is the rhythmic axis and the driving force of the group, without a doubt. Different languages well assembled in coexistence. Thanks for this post.
I love Charlie Mingus

It's got this big band sound, but they play smoothly like chamber musicians. And there's lots of improvising and wild tempo changes. Mingus is genius.
Johnny Coles is such a treasure, sincere and chill on all he played! underrated!
Beautiful footage. Eric Dolphy is a big musical inspiration to me. Any film with him laying is always welcomed. Thank you for the download.

@@lanceash yes Dolphy, dies right after these shows with Mingus. Yes we were lucky to have Mingus with us until 1979. Makes me think of that marvelous LP Joni put out in either 1980 or 1979 where you could hear the two talking.
Looks nice and cosy on the stage
Music is a language,you cant restrict it to a rigid time signature,that confines it
Enjoyed watching Eric Dolphy's facial expressions ( 31:00) as he is studying Johnny Coles' soloing . It makes me think that although his musical career was so brief he enriched the jazz world by so much.
Oh my gosh you deserve so much more !
Wonderful !!! !!!

Que lindo! Melhor concerto que já ví do sexteto do Mingus ! Magnifique.
One of the best videos I’ve ever stumbled upon.
Amazing band.
ebjazz93, thank you so much for sharing these videos with the world. They’re a constant source of inspiration!
Magnificent!
a particularly lucky footage of that great but inconsistent congregation. Mingus constantly trying to push everybody (including himself) over the cliff renders it precarious, but sometimes it just works out, and then it is marvellous.
That big cat on the bass isn't too bad, whoever he is. Other musicians are fairly competent too. Honestly, I much prefer this style, which, let's be honest, no one else played, to the hard bop cliche of having the horns play in unison. Mingus let every player shine. Love it.
Out of this world!
Whew!!! Donnie Richmond.
Fantastic!
