It´s April, it´s spring and it´s the month when I "fell in love" with the music of Mr. Charles Mingus......I don´t know what year it was, but it might have been before 1976 when I had the first of three or four occasions to see him live.

Going to be a wet, slightly soggy day. Getting some listening in before I have to get ready to go to a public gathering in Mentor with my wife and a few neighbors. Supposed to be a bit rainy, hope we can avoid a lot of the rain.

I wanted to start off with the second disc of this set. . . but it won't load in the transport. Sigh. I'll try again in another transport later.

"Bill Evans - Further Ahead: Live in Finland 1964-1969" Elemental Music 2 cd set

So on to Joel Ross "The Parable of the Poet," Blue Note cd. I've been wanting to revisit this excellent disc for a while.

Charles Mingus “The Clown” Atlantic/Analogue Productions SACD

An excellent sounding edition of this fantastic album. I love all the work this group did. . .the front line is just glorious.

I think I have seen that album somewhere but never had heard it. Must google it on youtube eventually to hear what you talkin´´´bout. 

But really hip, man. I spinned Mingus, you spin him too. 

I have to thank him as long as I live. I would not have become a musician if he had not been on this planet. Mingus, Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders have been the most important reasons for me to get the urge to play as a kid. Monk is also a spirtual best friend of mine, but unfortunatly I didn´t hear him when he was in Viena for the last time. It was just the year before I heard Miles in Viena, and if I was only some days shy of my 14th birthday when I heard Miles, I wound have been 13 when Monk was in Town, and I fear I would not have got in the joint....

Great. I LOVE Ornette not only on as, but on violin too. 

My nephew is a famous actor and also very much into pantomia, and I saw him doing a pantomia show with an actress where they perform a "love affair" between a viola and a violin and as the strummed the strings of them two fiddles I liked it so much. See, they never had touched a fiddle before that and it sounded GREAT !

They had asked me to meet them on the after show party, which is easy since I´m a musician and so a "trusted person" also in appointments with other forms of arts and told him it sounded almost as good as Ornette and the next day my nephew called me and said: Ghee you was damn right. I is fantastic on violin. 

So thank you for posting this !

My limited experience with DeSoto records has been entirely positive. They're now a "buy on sight" label.

Bertha Hope sounds very good. The entire albums is a nice one, but not outstanding.
