Mingus Workshops 1964-65

[miles65]

Great news indeed!

The Monterey set I got mostly because of that Mingus track (there's some other interesting music spread on the three discs). I wonder if they found more, unreleased material from that concert? Guess not or Cuscuna would have stated so.

If you go to the discography you will see the following tracks for this session:

Arts Of Tatum And Freddie Webster previously unissued

Don’t Let It Happen Here Malpaso/Warner Bros. CD 9-46703-2

They Trespass The Land Of The Sacred Sioux East Coasting ECEP-1

When The Saints Go Marching In previously unissued

Wich is the same tracklisting as on: Monterey 1965

Priestley writes about this performance (pages 166/167):

The performance at Monterey,..., was less than totaly relaxed and ended prematurely with Mingus leading his men offstage while playing When The Saints Go Marching In.

I guess Mosaic has the whole set.

[tranemonk]

Don't get me wrong I'm happy with this set... but I'm hoping there's more than 31 minutes of music on Disc VII. (I'm assuming that's what you meant instead of Disc VI. But maybe you did mean disc 6? )

Very cool indeed!

[clifford_thornton]

Quite looking forward to this.

[CraigP]

Yes, I was on the fence until now - gotta get it!

[Adam]

I'm excited by this and will get it. Just throwing a hypothetical question out there. If you had a Mingus set with a hole in it, wouldn't you first think of checking the Mingus Archives at the Library of Congress? Why didn't they or Sue think of that?

Have to agree. If they didn't check it on this occasion it means they probably never check public archives for anything. It also means they didnt talk to too many experts.

[colinmce]

From what I see this set moved very quickly; from all I know of Michael, Scott, et al's practices this is not normally how they do business-- look at the Hawkins set, for which they scoured the globe. It seems to me that Sue came to them with a bundle of material and they ran with it since the set is obviously such a winner and would yield big sales in any form, a stream of revenue they could probably do with sooner rather than later. I'm glad they got it sorted out, though.

[brownie]

Review with samples on NPR.

[J.A.W.]

Scott told me the Mingus will be delayed. They just heard that the CDs will not be in as planned on October 30 but a week later.

[miles65]

Just got an email from Mosaic stating they start shipping next Monday, storm damage permitting.

[tranemonk]

I'm really hoping it's not too bad... Connecticut got it rough...

[sidewinder]

storm damage permitting.

That sounds ominous - it's marked up in the mailshot in red as well !

[John Tapscott]

Just listened to the samples on NPR and ordered. Can't be without this one, I'm afraid. No lunches in Nov. But I'll survive somehow!

[golfcrazy1984]

Yep! The samples on the NPR site sound great! I can't wait to see that shipping notification in my email inbox (and more importantly the box set in my hands!).

[romualdo]

Mingus box is ready to go according to the website

preorders will be shipped on Nov 8, 9 & 12

finally my big box tax refund haul (Goodman, Hawkins & Mingus) will make it here before Christmas

[miles65]

Just got a notice from Mosaic that my set will ship next 24-48 hours.

[jazzbo]

Me too!

[colinmce]

Same.

[medjuck]

Hey, what am I: chopped liver? I never got one.

[Hoppy T. Frog]

Hey, what am I: chopped liver? I never got one.

me neither

[jazzbo]

I anticipate you both will have your notices by the weekend.

[gmonahan]

Got my notice!
