Lateef/Knepper TRACKS IN THE SAND

[king ubu]

No bassist on which CD? On the "Tracks in the Sand" one, bassist ist listed as Arthur Phipps - and just in case, it surely does not sound like Mingus at all. Great to hear some more Richard Williams though! Enjoying my first spin right now.

Not on my copy.

Sorry, had seen your post in the office but forgot upon coming home that day ... here's a pic taken from my disc - back of the one-page/two-fold booklet.

Inside has the same big city silhouette plus small pics of Lateef, Knepper, Flanagan, Williams, Phipps and Roach (at least so they say - wouldn't be able to tell if the Phipps was correct, and the Williams at that).

Traycard offers more or less the same as the above, but a few production details and the short blurb are missing, and there is some additional info (in addition to the line-up and the line about the strings players):

Composed by Charles Mills for

A Bercox Film Production

Recorded at RKO Pathé Studios (New York);

March, 1962. None of this material has been

previously released

Apologies for the lousy shot!

Dear Listers,

Some time ago my Cousin Gale LAMBRIGHT sent me a lot of data on
Charles Henry MILLS, American Composer: Charles was born in
Asheville, NC 8 January, 1914 and died in New York City 7 March,
1982.

Charles changed his middle name to Borromeo sometime in the mid
'50's. He composed over 110 pieces including several symphonies.
One of his most famous was "Crazy Horse - Symphony No. 4".
First performed by Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra 28 November,
1958; named in honor of Chief Crazy Horse, Sioux Indian hero.

He was a self taught tenor recorder player, and pianist. He played
many other woodwind instruments.. His favorite was the flute.

Charles married a Miss Purra who was an accomplished fine artist.
It is thought they did not have any children but that has not been
proven. (Any information on her full name and dates would be
appreciated.)

Charles' says this about his parents: "...my parents being native
Carolinians of English and Scotch-Irish lineage. Shortly after my
birth, we moved to Spartanburg, South Carolina... As soon as America
entered World War I my father volunteered in the infantry. We saw
little of him after that, for he was wounded, shell-shocked and gassed,
and spent the remaining years of his life after the Armistice in
government hospital. My Mother and I lived alone, but we were not
morbidly depressed."
