One of the greatest jazz bands ever. Pure magic. Even Coltrane acknowledged Eric as one of the few players who could play at his level, and in my eyes Eric was a better improviser, he was just too far out to be mainstream.
Meditations on Integration (Or For a Pair of Wire Cutters). On the album "The Great Concert of Charles Mingus" there is an unbelievable 21-minute version
Have you heard all of Eric Dolphy's flute works? His masterpiece of "You Don't Know What Love Is, is unmatched by anyone. If you think so please educate me.
Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes there are a few interviews of Eric Dolphy... busy seeking them. But there is a great biography of Eric. CD entitled: "Last Date". I must post more of Eric. Hell I'll start tonight.
The flute Eric is playing is an ALTO FLUTE (in the key of G), not a bass flute. So when is someone going to post the worlds most amazing bass clarinet solo EVER...which is Eric Dolphy playing OLEO on the bass clarinet? That solo he played on Oleo proved something to everyone about that instrument. You can get it on iTunes for a buck if you do not have it and would like to hear what I am talking about.
Okay, I have a few things. First off, I really want to know what performance this is from. Also, is it on CD? Please tell me that it is. It sounds like Johnny Coles is a part of the horn section so I take it the concert is from before April 18th. Dolphy was working on passages like this as the group toured and I want a piece that has both complete horns and Eric Dolphy's best playing during these parts. The Great Concert of Charles Mingus leaves out Johnny Coles and he is sorely missed!
it's called Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus ...it's on Candid Records. BUT it's not live...it's fake, or more like a joke... a studio recording where Mingus addresses a non audience -asking, jokingly, for them to hold their applause etc,
zappa does not have chops at all like dolphy------u should check out dolphy's rendition of "epistrophy"-----dolphy was one of the best soloists of all time----zappa. maybe in the top 500
Mingus and Varese were peers and influenced each other. Zappa was primarily influenced by Varese, and probably by Mingus' music as well. If anything Zappa sounds like Mingus.
1:41 You can see how Dannie's heart breaks when his cigarette fell
Yes

Mingus and Dolphy...very much like in a dream.

Mingus looks like hes nodding on the bass, with all due respect and lovin it
lol
Beautiful sound with the bowed bass and the flute.
Utterly fantastic.... just wow.
Beautiful!
I love Charlie Mingus

To me the town hall version titled « playing with Eric » will always be one of the greatest things I’ve ever listened
Music can't get better than this.
Mindblowing! Why couldn't I have been born in that era.
Meditations on Integration, Wonderful piece, great historic footage. Great stuff! Chris
Yes
Jazz Workshop. And the album is Live at the Jazz Workshop San Francisco
beautiful music ,please more of it !
@lovespinkchocolate I have a ton of his albums, live and studio, and I have a few versions of it and I love it. I am a huge Dolphy fan.
Btw the song is called "Meditations"
Ya, this is when they were at Cornell in 1964
I have the album
Great orchestration
haha when the drummer's cigarette falls off his ear and he is bashful and looks at the camera loll
👏🏾👏🏾

Greats, the best of the best
Yes they do. I'll get you the list under separate cover. Must be Mingus' wife Sue Mingus having clips taken down.
i love it
Yeah I own that. Nice stuff on there. Particularly "ATFW You" with Jaki Byard's piano introduction.
MORE MORE MORE!!

Eric Dolphy is such a genius.
all of the albums mentioned are correct
this is in such good quality....where is the rest of the video?
'Terrific
I guess it was just shortened to Meditations on the Cornell '64 album then
Dolphy is missing the end cap on his head joint haha. Oh well he's the best.
@rasjvon I'd put zappa in the top 50.
maybe check the Cornell 1964 album

Incredible, which concert is this taken from ?
There's a Mingus among us....
sounds like colombo theme song

It must be pretty hard to play a flute with a bass clarinet at your neck!
it's called Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus ...it's on Candid Records. BUT it's not live...it's fake, or more like a joke... a studio recording where Mingus addresses a non audience -asking, jokingly, for them to hold their applause etc,
At around 13 seconds, if he doesn't look like Chris Rock...I just don't know....hey..! an idea....
What's this song called?
fuck, they took down the video with the mingus solo
if you're gonna cut off the vid, no better place to do it than when the drummer drops his cig and looks salty about it :)
I love how it just cuts off typical Lyal Confujmax's work.
zappa does not have chops at all like dolphy------u should check out dolphy's rendition of "epistrophy"-----dolphy was one of the best soloists of all time----zappa. maybe in the top 500
wowzas mingus was FAR too cool for his time. the part where Dolphy gets on that bass clarinet sounds like Zappa.
Mingus and Varese were peers and influenced each other. Zappa was primarily influenced by Varese, and probably by Mingus' music as well. If anything Zappa sounds like Mingus.
