I might redirect you to an earlier mingus thread in the bassists forum and also specifically to my post in that thread about the YouTube series. It is a really sweet series, if your willing to be patient enough to sit through every video! I still can't believe all the people there like both the news crew and the cops when he was getting arrested!

As the other Youtube videos have been removed, I'd like to note "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" from the Montreux Festival 1975, with a great solo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88RCJ4fGJk4
Man, I'm sorry. I just don't see the appeal of Mingus at all.
Well, at least he said he's sorry.
