Surrounded by exceptional musicians such as Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone, flute, bass clarinet), Clifford Jordan (tenor saxophone), Johnny Coles (trumpet), Jaki Byard (piano), and Dannie Richmond (drums), Mingus delivers an explosive performance. The tracks, blending complex compositions and daring improvisations, reflect his unique genius and rebellious spirit. A must-have for live jazz enthusiasts.
