I´ve listened to this 1970 Mingus album, this together with the twin album "Blue Bird" . Great band, the one with McPherson and Bobby Jones. Danny Richmond and Byard great as ever.

The strange title "Love is a dangerous necessity" with it´s a capella blowing section sounds like a precedessor of "Music for Todo Modo".

Really dig this frontline with Eddie Preston ... probably the last great Mingus Band edition .... and still rather underappteciated ....

I haven´t mentioned the trumpet player. Somehow I don´t like his sound so much. I think later he had Lonnie Hillyer again. But "last great Mingus Band" .....I wouldn´t agree, the bands with Adams/Pullen and the last frontline Jack Walrath/Ricky Ford also was great.

I'm sure there are many here who have other opinions (and that's a good thing - constant agreement can be deadly), but for me that was the last great Mingus band also.

Interesting .... to me Don Pullen excelled as solo act, but seemed hardly manageable in being integral part of a group .... btw really love Ricky Ford, but with Mingus he was still very young and (IMO) no contest for the saxplayer he grew into a couple of years later ....

Another perspective.  I love the Pullen - Adams - Walrath band. I think Changes I & Changes II are WAY UP THERE in the Mingus firmament.

That looks interesting. How's the sound quality?

I just realized that I never replied to this - apologies. Sound is decent -  call it A minus on the bootleg scale. Side one is from the Jazz Casual TV show, and is out in more complete form on DVD. Side two is special - a hard-to-find long piece called "Creation" from the Half Note in 1965, during the same run that produced the One Up, One Down: Live at the Half Note CD set.
