The cumulative effect of these songs is quite something. This definitely an album. In fact, RT really regretted including the b-side Living In Luxury on an early CD reissue. In later years it was removed again, RT commenting that was the 'vastly improved edition'.

Jazz man.

The great Charles Mingus

A bigger band sound then we normally gravitate to

Yes, very much an album.

Didn't know about Living in Luxury.

Ah. Um. I am listening to the original edited LP, which I know best. 46 mins.

The elongated CD never grabbed me.

Details on wikipedia:

Edited and unedited versions

The original Columbia Records LP release of the album featured edited versions of six of the nine compositions. For these tracks, from one to three minutes of the performances were removed, either to meet the playing time constraints of the LP format, or because producer Teo Macero felt the pieces were more effective in edited form. Unedited versions of these pieces were first released in 1979, on LP. The first widely-available CD edition of the album, 1987's "Columbia Jazz Masterpieces" edition, used the original LP edits. The edited version has been reissued on compact disc subsequent to 1987, including a 2019 release by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. The unedited version of the album was first widely released on compact disc in 1998 as part of the Sony Legacy series, and it too has remained available through additional compact disc reissues.

Big band sounds are fine with me. I've always enjoyed the work of Count Basie and have been increasingly drawn to Duke Ellington. There are less players than are part of Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra, another fine ensemble.

Am listening to a CBS Jazz Masterpieces CD. Just noted I was less than two months old when this was recorded.

I mean this as a compliment - so much of this reminds me of 60s soundtrack music, to movies like The Sweet Smell of Success and tv shows like Peter Gunn and The Fugitive.

Which is just to show how influential and ahead of its time this was.

Very happy to take your word on that.

Not sure I've seen Sweet Smell of Success, Peter Gunn or The Fugitive. I'm definitely not a film buff.

Paying close attention to the piano, having just skimmed the liner notes and being reminded that Horace Parlan, as a result of contracting polio, had a paralysed right hand and only used two of its fingers when playing.
