from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR & Discorder Magazine
This was one of the most amazing bands that bassist/composer/innovator Charles Ningus ever led. The band consisted of Johnny Coles("Little Johnny 'C'')on trumpet, Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone, flute and bass clarinet, Clifford Jordan on tenor saxophone, Jaki Byard, piano and Dannie Richmond on drums. This concert recorded by The Student Society at Cornell has just been newly discovered and issued as a double CD on Blue Note. The music reflects Mingus in a positive and optimistic space and yet as always covers the many moods of Mingus from joy to anger. A monumental discovery!!!
