Album Notes & Community Reviews
Documenting a historic 1974 concert that reunited Mingus with several legendary alumni from his past ensembles, including Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Charles McPherson. The performance transforms classic compositions into extended, profoundly dynamic jam sessions, culminating in roaring, incredibly loose renditions of blues structures.
