Back in the day, when you went to a Mingus concert, you best be prepared to hang on to your soul. His music could be dangerous, beautiful, sublime and riotious. He cleansed you of bourgeois culture.
i am so glad to have the internet without these comments i would dispair that nobody eavan cares anymore about the kind of enormus talent and origionality of giants among men such as Mingus, vincent van gough and other incredably 'FREE' thinking and feeling individualists.
This cooks so hard it's on fire. Everybody is burning Nitro. But that was Mingus--A total genius to put music like this together and always have the best players. Both Don Pullen and George Adams were giants--so incredible yet underrated. God only knows why. And has anyone ever thanked Dannie Richmond for being and giving?? I love George's quote of "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" at 2:01. Way Out West, for sure!!
awesomeness dude
swettness
he rocked that solo man
totally rocked it
Hey dolls and guys I was there on the stage may be in Todi (small town near Perugia), the concert was totally free one of the best moment of music for Italy, for my beneration and for me very lucky and very happy to be there
I like for the jazz it art .so magic what do.best song I listen all day for all Life. Mingas is man
I CAN'T BELIEVE!!!!!!! I was only 17 and I liste only ONE TIME this tune directly from tv when was on air ( sono italiano) ....I remember and I was looking for this tune but I didn't know the title....and now....IT IS HERE!!!!!! I can remember the wonderful theme as I listened yesterday!!!!!! THANKS Stella!!!!!
if people watched this every day the world would be a better place
a prophet is never recognised in his own land!!charles mingus was a god incarnate on bass,his compositions were always cutting edge,superb and luxurious!he was tormented to death,his compositions tossed into a dumpster in the rain along with the furnishings of his home&sometimes music school for disadvantaged youths!he was an international star mistreated&abused in his own land!ostrasized when he should have been treasured,revered and rewarded for his work with youth to instill music in them!!!
Off of one of my favorite Mingus recordings, MOVES. To hear this live is beyond is beyond belief. I love all the beautiful comments as well that fellow Mingus fans have left!
This George Benson live take five 1986 and Mile Davis kind of blue should all be compulsory viewing for every one every day to make the world a better place.
this is tongue in cheek
Pure Genius! I can listen to this over and over and over and it always blows my mind with the endless depths of profundity it contains.
If only my parents were jazz aficionados I could have been there!
no one, no one in jazz, or any other music has the exhilarating exuberance and freedom of spirit that we behold with george adams and don pullen...and it's from the heart with the uplifting spirit. G-d bless them!!!!
Proprio questo concerto mi introdusse al jazz...di meglio non mi poteva capitare...il top
never get tired of this , not jut the music the setting and the freedom
OUTRAGEOUS, one of his most blazing units, that is just awe inspiring
flowers for a lady was written by george adams for his wife, lady walquer vereen, who currently lives and performs as a vocalist, dancer and speaker in new york city. she is an amazing artist and presence in her own right. and she was a great blessing to george. that's why he wrote the song, and plays it as he does.
Just how subjective we all feel about music is quite amazing.... "bad & bizarre" are two words I would never use to describe Pullen & Adams' playing on this. I find this (just as i did back then) a real barn-burner, and a display of passion, energy, and, well, life! To me, the typical format some Jazz lovers demand the music remain within, is the antithesis of what Jazz is all about...
"Jazz is Everything... Jazz is the freedom of the sounds" - Sonny Rollins
i love charles mingus and that drummer
those r some of the best solos i have heard...
if not the best solos i have heard...
Finally listening to Mingus tunes. Wow. Exhale.
Great composition and that Adams' solo... !!!!!!!! Mingus Swingus The |Great ;] just enjoy ;]
So true the poor lady may could hear some HM in the beginning and as soon as the brass comes in- this is my flowers... a genius with friends on the stage which are also genius musicians....
They faced an unespected huge crowd of young people coming to hear jazz as they were going to rock festivals. Nixon was impeached. They went around shaking hands and embracing people. I was there and I remember Mr. Mingus so pleasantly surprised of all this love and enthousiasm around them. If some of us almost cried just for looking at the video, what should be beenthere do?
That footage of the piano mans left hand is thrilling! And no one ever plays the Bari like that!
I saw Mingus quite a few times in Montreal, He was my favorite jazz musician - band leader live, and this captures some of the fantastic energy, danger and soul of Mingus live. His records were good, but jazz live is where it's at! He always had consummate musicians who took risks.
Well... sometimes they also took risks to be knived when things derailed or did not meet Mr Charles expectations and plans; especially Mr Don Pullen, whose stretched knuckled solos sir Charles didn't particularly love.
Yet my favorite cat possibly.
Mingus in a creative free-fall.
completely enjoyed this VITAL, musical history, stellar show
that's cool. great musician...really great musician. it's cool to see them that close
this song is magestic, I can feel it with my eyes closed
The greatest Jazz Bassist ever...........MINGUS
pure, distilled 200 proof genius!
A very stilysh Session ! Pure !
i love those free solos...
I saw Mingus a few times and although never saw his band with Dolphy, I always thought his band with George Adams and Don Pullen with Jack Walrath was his best. This band with the late, great Hamiet Bluiett was short lived and any footage is extremely rare, what a great composition!
Miles Davis said Mingus was the most brilliant MF'ing musician he had ever known.
A Master piece !!!
GOOO GOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
JAZZ is LIFE!
Charles Mingus .. the anchor and the sail.
Rouse-Monk, Lafaro-Evans, Coltrane-Tyner, Mingus-Richmond... duetos infinitos en el jazz.
Damn fine tune, damn fine playing...
Damn.
mingus is king...no doubt about it...absolutely
Hahaha George Adams is such a monster, and huge props to Charles Mingus, as a bass player hes definitly one of my idols. As a sax player... This bari player, Hamiet Bluiett is definitly a wow kinda guy lol ive neverheard a bari do that kind of stuff lol im not sure if I like all of it, but i 100% respect what it takes to do that haha.
That footage of the piano mans left hand is thrilling!
george adams wrote "flowers for a lady" for his wife: lady walquer vereen, who is currently living and performing in nyc. she has a one-woman theatre piece: "grand-mother" and she is exceptional. she has performed with greats such as leon thomas, olatunji and teaches dunham technique in dance. she had alot to do with helping george get his thing together.
if you're in nyc, check her out!! she's an amazingly blessed and gifted artist and human being.
Best thing ever.
this is a perfect video I watch it a lot the setting everything its life!!
Jaw-dropping. Seriously. The talent and beauty that perform in this video IS music.
Thanks for that great show! Mr. G.Adams and unbelieveable H. Bluiett, so wonderful!
This rocks!!!!!!!
Charles Mingus and co. are my all time favorite jazz collective. Davis and Coltrane are amazing, but for me, it does not get better than Mingus. He is the be-all end-all.
nickodemus84 Mingus is the best, i just cant compare anything with her monster works, Let my children hear music, The monstrous genius of his work, on top of the music.
Shiet, man. I may agree with you.
gotta love Don Pullen
And it is, because the sad thing is that except for Hamiet Bluiett all these giants of jazz are long dead. We will never hear the likes of them again.
Traditional compared to what?
George Adams was a fantastic human being whose horn transmitted the beautiful music of his soul. May it live forever!
Mingus is Mingus. Immense.
ooh a young hamiet bluiett!
Great Sax!
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!! F*&^%IN AMAZING
buddy is killin that tenor sax....

Minus looks so cool amidst all that high energy.
This is top of the form in every way. They're just amazing. It makes me so happy.

still one o f th ecoolest videos on the net , besides me
at the beach with auntie doris last year
Great sound from every one here, especially Bluiett with that great solo
This was one of Mingus's best groups. I was to fortunate to see them perform live. After Mingus left us, there has come no other even close.
Remembering the exhilarating blowing sessions from the Mingus 1970S era. BTW, if you want more of the same, I highly recommend "Changes One" and "Changes Two." On the original vinyl. Drop the needle down, and BRACE YOURSELF!!!
CHARLES ,at it's finest THIS MARVELOUS musical group of MELINAN, MADDNESS, had the pelivage of seeing him,many times MR pork PIE Hat ",SIP in the AFTERLIFE.....om....
That was beautiful ^^
Thanks!
George Adams adding the theme from Surrey with the Fringe On Top in his solo at 2:00. How cool is that!
Amen, I'm all chewed up!
Absolute bad asses
I've been waiting for someone to upload some Mingus videos. Thank you so much
stella this is the best jazz piece i never seen,thanx for post it !!
Amazing!! all i wanted to say
(Continued)
Don and George played a unique mixture of inside and outside blues, straight ahead jazz, post bop and modern American music rolled into one. They were unique and unmatched by anyone beffore or since. The fact that you can't hear that well enough to appreciate it is a shame for you because you're missing out on something great.
what such great display of musicianship . what do u call the way the keyzi moves his fingers , the way mingus bends to the groove of his sax the intensity of the standing base the steady metronomic groove of the drummer.... MAGIC ??
I can't help thinking the sound's slightly out of sync with the picture - anyone else noticed this or is it just me? That minor gripe aside, this is supremely wonderful - love George Adam's calisthenics as he blows away + the sly 'Surrey with the Fringe on Top' quote he throws in!
Man I was so obsessed with this song in 8th grade!
this is the greatest line-up ever
I always wondered what Mr. Adams looked like playing that way.
I wish I could've been one of the lucky people to see this live
wow, complete madness and stellar performances by all a real trip! enjoyed this immensely. out there as in the SUMMIT OF JAZZ! YEAH
Great! Great! Great! These are the Masters!
Unnh! Unnh! Unnh! Loved it! Thanks for the video!
it takes me to a wonderful place...
Nice to think about my country listening to mingus :D peace,
THIS RIPS!
Why is George Adams so unknown? His recordings with Don Pullen are beyond amazing!
@NYgbomb71 - yeah, you got that one right - a leaky bottom and the whole boat sinks...
To me it's a miracle anybody could be THAT good....
FAMOSO DESDE 1963
YEAH!!!! This is it!
I LOVE the sax solos...
God damn' I want to be there!
These were very artists...this was music...this was my Italy...
amazing... just amazing jazz and metal RULES
