Charles Mingus - Savoy Dates

[bertrand]

I noticed on iTunes that the CD called Timeless by Mingus (which is actually a reissue of the Savoy album Jazz Composers' Workshop) has a bonus track 'O.P' which I can't find in discographies, at least under the Savoy dates. The sound clip sounds like a big band thing, much larger ensemble than either Savoy session.

Where is this track from? Does it belong there?

Thanks,

Bertrand.

I think it's from a session in Japan in the late 1960s/early 1970s.

True - since Savoy is Nippon Columbia/Denon

This much later item goes together with the material recorded by Savoy. There are 3 tunes - The Man Who Never Sleeps; O.P.; Portrait.

These came out on CD 30CY-1388
