Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy - Cornell 1964




Over 20 years after this incredible concert was recorded, the tapes were recently discovered by jazz legend Charles Mingus' widow, Sue. This March 18, 1964 performance at Cornell University, presented in its entirety on 2CDs, is one of the most joyous and exciting performances of Charles Mingus' considerable career. The band with trumpeter Johnny Coles, reedmen Eric Dolphy and Clifford Jordan, pianist Jaki Byard and drummer Dannie Richmond had only been together for a few weeks when the concert took place, and it is obvious from the outset that this as a happy and satisfying experience for all.

Highlights include half-hour excursions into Mingus' Fables of Faubus and Meditations, a rollicking extended version of Billy Strayhorn's Take the "A" Train, and Eric Dolphy's unique arrangement of Fats Waller's Jitterbug Waltz. All of Mingus' bands had a volcanic swing, but few attained a level of empathy and interplay like this edition of The Jazz Workshop. The band went on to perform and record a celebrated Town Hall concert in New York City before leaving for a triumphant European tour. Eric Dolphy would remain in Europe where he died that June.
