Charles Mingus - Something Like A Bird [Atlantic, 1980]

I remember this was the last thing that came out, after Mingus had died. 

I remember that as a complete Mingus fan I was waiting every year for the Year´s output of a new Mingus LP on Atlantic. First it was "Changes 1+2" then "Three or Four Shades of the Blues" and then "Cumbia and Jazz Fusion". That was during the time Mingus was alive and touring all around the world and I also could see him live. 

The "Me Myself and I" I think was recorded, when he still was alive but couldn´t play anymore. 

I always wondered how those long tracks "Three Worlds of Drums" and "Something like a Bird" would have sounded live with Mingus playing the bass in the band. 
I think the ideas came during his 1977 tour where he also played in Tunis where he got some inspirations for the "3 Worlds of Drums". And the "Something like a Bird" might have been a follower of "Three or Four Shades of the Blues", that means : One suite , and one straight ahead tune. Enough for one show. 
"Something like a Bird" as you sure know is based on "Idaho" . "Farwell Farwell" is a wonderful ballad in D - flat, with wonderful solos by Coryell and by Ricky Ford. This ballad was also recorded when Mingus still had his health and played the band, I think it is on that Lionel Hampton session, but the paradox thing is as though Mingus plays bass on that version of Farwell, the arrangement is no good and the Hampton styled vibe just doesn´t fit in. So this one is the really power piece, to bad that Mingus couldn´t play on it anymore....

Herbert Noord - Five Times Six

it wasn't that cheap at 15 Euro but not expensive either and: I did manage to buy a nice record from my want list at that dreaded country-wide street market on the occasion of the king's 56th birthday... but I sure didn't try hard, just was lucky enough to walk by a box of jazz albums on a street corner... a classic of experimental organ jazz from Europe (not that there are many albums in that genre)

Sadly unlikely to find it in a flea market over here. Nothing online to hear either

True, you have your own flea market situation in your country... I'd really been looking for this one at a decent price for a while so I was quite happy to bump into it today... One track can be streamed here though:

Miles Davis - Turnaround, Rare Miles From The Complete On The Corner Sessions [Columbia, 2023]

Always regretted not buying the boxset so this is a small (very small) compensation. Sounds great
