Reviewed 2007-07-23

When Mingus recorded this he was depressed, paranoid, nearly broke, without a major record label and still mourning the death of his sax//flute player Eric Dolphy andfor several years no one had heard from him. This recording put him back on track. .CD # 1
***1: 4:04 mellow straight ahead cover of "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" cool cool bass
2: 15:09 fast straight ahead Jazz
3: 12:51 mid to fast straight ahead Jazz
***4: 4: 34 slow slow brass, kind of an abrupt ending.
****5: 18:08 low down Blues
6: 16:41 straight ahead Jazz
CD # 2
All alternate takes
