I have a question for fellow jazz heads, I wanted to get a few recordings of Mingus and want to know what some of your favorite titles are. Thanks.  |

| | | | Two of my earliest Jazz records were-
Live At Carnegie Hall (2 tunes, "Perdido" & "C-Jam Blues"...basically, a blowfest)
Changes 2
Later I added Changes 1 (I would recommend both; in fact, I just did pick up a Mingus in-concert DVD with the band from that era).
More to seek out-
Mingus At Antibes
Money Jungle (w/ Max Roach & Duke)
Black Saint & The Sinner Lady

Both Mingus Ah Um and Black Saint and the Sinner lady are great collections of music, but I would suggest you check out Cumbia and Jazz fusion. My bass teacher let me listen to a couple of weeks ago and I was simply floored by it. If you haven't checked it out, you really need to. Also, check out some of his piano stuff ( I think he recorded a solo piano cd or two, yes?) It's nothing compared to his bass stuff, but from the few songs I've heard, it's worth a listen or two. |

I've got a few discs... I think the late 50s through mid 60s is the stuff I like best....
"Mingus at Antibes" gets the most play for me |
