April 22nd is Mingus´Birthday, he would be 99 years old.

I want to say that Charles Mingus was one of the first musicians that fascinated me, actually I first heard Miles and then Mingus, when I was about 16 years old.

This was the second Mingus album I had, and I still love it.

That was recorded while the Quiny Jones Orchestra performed in Belgrade.

[rostasi]

That's right ("Quincy"). June 16, 1960 at Radio Television Belgrade.
Originally released as a 10" back in the day.
It's also included on this collection:

I should listen to this again. As much as I remember Jackie plays alto AND tenor on the title track. And I think Curtis Fuller is also on this. 

Yep, he does...and Fuller is there too. It's a good album, definitely blues heavy.

David Murray - Ballads (DIW)
with Dave Burrell, Fred Hopkins, and Ralph Peterson, Jr.

I dig that album too. My first Mingus was Ah Um and it didn't really grab me. Wasn't until I heard the unedited workshop stuff on the Candid albums that I became a big Mingus fan.

Both are first US CD editions of these albums. I think they sound good.

Would any one here know how long singer Milt Grayson was with the Ellington band?  I have sometimes wondered why he did not become a a more famous singer.  I love his voice and especially love his work on "The Lonely Ones", heard on this CD.

This again:

Klaus Ignatzek Group - Jacaranda (Timeless, 1988)

I only discovered this record a few weeks ago, but I'm really digging it.  Claudio Roditi's presence is what drew me to it.  Per discogs, Roditi made more than 15 records (!) with Ignatzek -- and I'd never even heard of the German pianist until recently.

Many of Roditi's records with Ignatzek were trio recordings with Belgian bassist Jean-Louis Rassinfosse.  I've already ordered one of those discs too.
