Charles Mingus Live in '64

Charles Mingus is showcased in three exceptional concerts performed in April 1964 featuring his most celebrated line-up of players: Jaki Byard (piano), Dannie Richmond (drums), Johnny Coles (trumpet), Clifford Jordan (tenor sax) and the great Eric Dolphy (alto sax, flute and bass clarinet). Recorded within an eight-day span, less than three months before Dolphy's death, the three concerts showcase Mingus's visionary leadership and the band's incredible depth and diversity with unique performances of classics including So Long Eric and the groundbreaking Meditations on Integration. Also included are a 24-page booklet, liner notes, a memorabilia collage and more. 120 Minutes.
