Mingus really is one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time.

I was thirteen years old when I heard this and studying drums. In spite of many hours trying to copy Danny Richmond's drum solos... Well, nearly 60 years later, I can do some of it, and bear in mind that this amazing piece is in 3/8 time! Still have the vinyl (scratch, pop) and still consider it one of the all time great jazz pieces ever done.

Montefrío bless you sir!

I have an perfect copy on vinyl not dehorned the matrix which the record was made from.
It sounds fantastic on my stereo.

I play this chart in mingus ensemble at Rutgers, and our chart is in 6/4
@clarckkim
Logically speaking, you can make your own great next solo and it will still be easier than copy an other great solo. because even the same artist, in an other event will do an other solo, because solo is like, go speak for yourself, not make these exact notes
@victor.elkins
@@samuelwilson818Yes, a lot of those times overlap. I hear it as 6/8, seems too fast and swingy for 6/4. The compound times (anything over 8) tend to imply swing (underlying triplet feel) as I recall, so unless Mingus himself declared it in 6/4, whatever professor transcribed it for you just decided to use a very fast 6/4. I'd write it in 6/8 (also because the phrases tend to flow 123 456, listen to the piano parts) but 3/8 (which almost implies a swinging waltz) technically, mathematically works.

This work by Mingus is a milestone in the saga of American jazz. It's like a bunch of different conversations harmonizing for a few brief instants. This is pure art!
