Charles Mingus "Mingus At Monterey" 1965

One of the high points of Charles Mingus' career was his appearance at the 1964 Monterey Jazz Festival...

...This double LP contains the entire set: a lengthy Duke Ellington medley, "Orange Was the Color of Her Dress," and a stunning version of "Meditations on Integration" as performed by a 12-piece group featuring such players as altoist Charles McPherson, John Handy (on tenor), trumpeter Lonnie Hillyer, and pianist Jaki Byard. This music showcases the bassist/composer/bandleader at the peak of his powers. - Review by Scott Yanow
