I like Al Hibbler a lot. I'm just a stodgy dude, I guess.

Listening to Masterpieces for the first time, thanks to this thread. Great record, didn't even mind the vocal sections, but yeah I'm kinda stodgy too.

I like Yvonne/Eva on Masterpieces, but she's no Baby Cox

^ yeah, that's really great. In the Mingus doc, Triumph of the Underdog, Sue Mingus talks about that being what got Charles back into making music.

Various versions of how Mingus got fired from Ellington's band.

Mingus' account is my favorite (though maybe the least trustworthy?)
― tylerw, Friday, 13 January 2017 22:59 (seven years ago) link
That article omits a good line from Mingus' account: "I'm afraid, Charles -- I've never fired anybody -- you'll have to quit my band."

Totally off topic here, but at the mo I'm totally in love with his late period hard swinging duo Album with Ray Brown.

Have to rep for "The Queen's Suite" here, the other two suites on that cd aren't worldbeaters but the Queen's... well, rules!
