Me too!
BTW Some of the same musicians appear on Van Morrison's brilliant Astral Weeks.

This jazz classic dates from 1963, but the recording quality is excellent. No stereo hard-panning here.
The music is quite unlike anything else I have heard...a blend of traditional big-band sounds, powerful rhythms, and some wild free blowing. All-in-all it is quite entertaining.

Just picked one up from Amazon...........am a diehard Mingus fan and this is certainly one of his very best!

Sonically, though, isn't there a good deal of Teo Macero-like cutting-and-pasting in the original recording? My early RBCD sounds rather rough around the edges, which I assumed describes the master tape (if there is one).

Cutting-and-pasting of this sort would be contrary to Mingus' reputation as a fine composer in the extended form. On listening to this SACD I didn't notice any such manipulations..maybe I should listen again.

There were extensive overdubs, but no suggestion of Teo Macero on this recording operating as he did for Miles (Teo did work with Mingus on other albums).
