just got my hands on a copy of charles mingus at the newport jazz festival on 4 july 1959. yowza! enjoyed it so much that i listened to most of his 1964 european tour (that i have anyway): 12-april in oslo; 13-april in stockholm; 14-april in copenhagen; 16-april in bremen; and 28-april in stuttgart. whew! i’m not “mingus’ed out” but i’m about out of mingus (from that era).
