This is a great performance by some real :kick-ass" players of that era. I have always admired and loved the music of Mingus and can't understand why his name is spoken in the same sentence as some of the other greats from the era like Coltrane, Miles, Monk , Dizzy and Bird. He was an American treasure. Thanks for posting this performance.
Mingus 100 percent authentic in every possible way. His vertical timeline of forty or so years ran parallel to blues, swing, bebop, free jazz etc. He just did Mingus..even if he did steal mainly from Duke. Who tops Duke anyway, but Mingus just carried on and never gave a rats ass what most people said or did. So supremely unique and brilliant..after 30 years of listening to him..I never tire..he had soul beyond the skies. I just adore him, always will.
@pretorious...i just saw this video with max roach, charles mingus, dizzy gillespie, and charlie parker and bud powell....charles mingus timing is impecable......too bad bird sold his saxophone and had to play a plastic tipped one the night they played
waffles you are so right......so much music and INSTRUMENTS are from the eras you talk about....AFRICA is the grandfather... no matter what any tom dick or harry claims....all the great instruments either came from the middle east or Africa.....the ORIGIN....Europe just copied a lot as always...even Bethoven and Mr. Mozart
@camilo05191 Not trying to start a race thing here, but.....check your facts. Greece is where Islam absorbed the instruments, the Pythagorian tuning, etc. used for the later European model of so called "Classical" music. Of course the Moorish influence was there as well, but give credit where it's due. There is no denying the contribution of Black culture to music....just saying.
To wafflesmcspets. Sounds almost like a quote of Ralph Ellison. But explain that to some honky from Texas. Mingus would always extol mongel dogs. Saying they were the toughest on the block because they took the best genes from their mixed lineage.
When I hear Charlie Mingus feel something has to be transported to a world of unimaginable and wonderful sounds. Charlie is an outstanding musician, his history in the jazz world is special and unique. A transformer and highly competent musician.
Jazz Is truly an amazing American art form heavenly influenced by the struggle African Americans with great contributions from both afro & western euro influences. It is Americas Classical Music. Being somewhat of a jazz historian I found dog61's comment very hard to swallow.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So called '' Jazz '' music is merely a corruption of white music. The Africans in America heard the white brass bands after the civil war and interpreted it in their way. Since the essential musical instruments used in '' Jazz '' have their origins in Europe and not in Africa it is reasonable to assume the racial genealogy of the music as white. So we should stop this erroneous assumption that this is '' Black '' music.
@dogshy61 do you play jazz? do you even listen to much jazz? I do; I'm a jazz drummer, and I'm white, but every jazz cat on earth knows that this is at heart, American music. The two things that make jazz different from every other kind of music are these: spontaneous improvisation and swing. Anyone can spontaneously improvise, but the history goes back to New Orleans, the Caribbean, West Africa. And don't tell me that white boys were the first to swing.
@dogshy61 U R Truly Bliss Most jazz (not all) but most is based on a 12 bar blues progression. Key word: Blues. The origin of blues is? Could it be: Picking Cotton on plantation fields(No White Brass) only singing to ( ) Jesus to make it through ungodly inhumanity! So you could say Jazz is a corruption of white religion by way of the blues & white religion is a corruption of some ancient religion? Hey, that's another story all together! Remember when America had 2 presidents?
@juliovac Charming fucking argument. Really, there's nothing more eloquent than F-bombs for making a fucking point. Race is fucking relevant if you're a fucking history geek. Jazz would not have happened without the (fucking) intersection of European and West African musical heritage. But that's a fucking question of culture, not fucking color. Color and culture just happen to be correlated in this case, as they often fucking are.
@josepharchbold I think it was purely an on the spot thing he decided to take a solo the band either didnt know or they were just giving him backing as a reference(not that mingus needs help keeping form lol)
cont... They kind of look liike Barak Obama or Nelson Mandela. They are the fathers and mothers of all of the human races on earth - {including} those we know as Africans. It affirms the truth that we are one human family and destroys notions of our supposed differences. See his wonderful documentary 'The Journey of Man' or read his book by the same title. But what does any of this have to do with music?????
Just enjoy this beautiful elegy to Lester Young and his wonderful pork pie hat.
@cburton actually everyone commenting on your uninformed comment is referring to the brilliant genetic work of Dr. Spencer Wells. He went through the trouble of DNA sampling all of the untouched tribes in all the corners of the world and was able to map the journeys of man out of Africa to all of these various corners of the world. He was able to trace all our ancestry backward to the San Bushmen - a golden brown race - in whose features you can see every race on earth. Its really incredible!!
Mingus was more than a brilliant bass player, it was his revolutionary method of composition that proves his genius. he will forever be one of the greats, not just in jazz, but one of the greatest composers and musicians of all time.
Anyone who has read beneath the underdog knows mingus' multicultural herritage. "Half black man, yellow man – half-yellow – not even yellow, nor white enough to pass for nothing but black and not too light enough to be called white. I claim that I am a negro. I am Charles Mingus".
I see race has come into the picture here. Fact is DNA of ALL humans shows our origin is African/Negro. So what? Like the father in Big Fat Greek Wedding said "we all the same - we all fruit".
@faslane100 Actually...no, that's not a fact at all :D. Yes, we all have common traces in DNA (ofc), much more common than people think, genetic variability between races is only 6,3%, whilst the variability within a single population is 85,4%. There were 3 primal "races" (more like ancestry), Negroid, Causasoid, and Mongoloid, but if they had origin on a single population is unknown.
@CBurton If I'm not mistaken, there is a small village in Africa where you can see on people face that at the beginning we humans, had the same origin.This tribe is considered as the oldest of earth. It was possible to see like asian eyes, white people eyes and what ever. I saw that on a documentary. I just wanted to share that with you. Good bye and thanks for reading.

@birdsk83 I heard of that too, was one of the Xhosa tribes from East Africa I think. It's true that fossils indicate that the archaic Homo sapiens evolved to the modern human exclusively in Africa, and later on spread out through the world without copulating with the already existing Neanderthals and Homo Erectus outside Africa. But the sequencing of the full Neanderthal Genome suggests Neanderthals and some modern humans share some ancient genetic lineages. So they probably did interbreed
This is incredible. Mingus has such an aggressive sound in this performance. It's harsh but beautiful at the same time. I wish I had been old enough to have seen this performance. i would have been 2 when this show happened.
Jazz, like every other scientific, artistic or technological advancement in humanity, was created by ALL those who preceded it and who contributed to that advancement in any way shape or form. There are probably many thousands or tens of thousands of people behind jazz just as there would be many thousands that contributed to the development of something like the transistor radio.
This tribute to Lester (Prez) can bring a tear to my eye - great performance by Charlie and the band! I found the impact of Lester Young's aesthetic vision (as opposed to his behavior) almost everywhere. He influenced the West Coast movement of the 1950s and Tristano and Konitz of the East Coast cool school. The influence of Prez t was assimilated by Brazilian music around the time of his death in 1959, and helped shape the bossa nova style (listen to Jobim and Getz). Masterful Work!

Charles Mingus was a great composer and artist (to me, he is GOD in the Jazz world), but patience was not one of his virtues. He was easily annoyed or angered to the point of exploding when discrimination or disrespect hit him directly. I don't blame him at all for being frustrated, but his short temper got him into plenty of trouble over the years...
What we can do today is to keep his memory and greatness alive by passing the music around for anyone to hear and to learn about him.
Recently published writings on the history of Jazz and Blues indicate that there was a very rich cross-cultural and cross-racial exchange during the early history of each musical style. It seems that the influences and inspiration went BOTH ways, from white to black artists and from black to white.
Yes, it is sad and unjust that the white artists got most of the credit in the 1950's and 1960's, and that the official TV networks had a policy of segregation, but that doesn't alter early history.
Btw, ignoring someone's race doesn't make you tolerant or new age. We should always respect other cultures and appreciate them for their uniqueness instead of trying to assimilate everything into one broad label of humanity.
Thanks for posting this GENIUS. I saw and went backstage and met this legend back in the mid-1970's in Madison, Wisconsin. Also met George Adams and chatted. FANTASTIC! Danny Richmond, George Adams, Don Pullen....heros all....And, tonight, I am going to hear the Mingus Big Band at New Trier High School.
I'm so glad to know this song and to find this particular version. Oh, and reading all the comments i come to think that i'm also so glad to be brazilian and mixed. How much different does it make if you're black or white? Be glad to have ears people.
I'm white, and I don't want to incite even more interwebz race wars, but Jazz and blues was most assuredly invented exclusively by African Americans. Typical that white people try to take credit though; just look at Elvis. He's the "king of rock," yet his style was only new and groundbreaking because it was the first time a white guy was doing it. Real rock and roll stems from the black blues and jazz musicians who set the tables up. What's next, hip hop wasn't made by black people?
@StuPedassle711 Because of Mingus strong opinons and activism against racism (Fables of Faubus), probably attracts loads of douchebags that wants to piss people off. But I agree with you, can people just shut up and enjoy the music already!
Some of the best jazz was created by white guys. Some of the best jazz was created by black guys. Don't see a whole lot of Asians playin' jazz though haha

what is going on with the cussing and fighting, it's just a song, really, i think mingus, evans, coltrane, monk, and davis would all be pretty embarassed that their music brought this kind of attention
all of you fucks that are discussing this matter about jazz being created by black or white peopple, are just dumb racists, who the FUCK cares about the color of the skin on the ppl who created jazz? really, why dont you fucks go masturbate urselfs or something , why you come to a great video like this to talk shit
@juliovac u know sometimes its good to know the truth, its part of history..should be respected...u dont history to be made up...dont u??..but i agree that iits all about the music ...and less about who made it, or plays it.
@juliovac Charming argument. Really, there's nothing more eloquent than F-bombs for making a point. Race is relevant if you're a history geek. Jazz would not have happened without the (forced) intersection of European and West African musical heritage. But that's a question of culture, not color. Color and culture just happen to be correlated in this case, as they often are.
Actually there is something more eloquent. Making fun of the way people speak. Just because some people think "f bombs" are wrong and useless doesn't make it so. They cleary inject passion into the paragraph. Hell it made you reply. Fuck grammatical rules and stigmas, the best art does not need them.

@wafflesmcspets I think that you are making an assumption that you cannot prove. Re: the notion that "Jazz would not have happened without the (forced) intersection of European and West African musical heritage." Jazz is the product of African expression in the diaspora. It is the creation of Africans in America. Most of the time when you ask people to name what the cultural contribution of Europe was to the Jazz aesthetic they are usually making stereotypic assumptions about African music.
@wafflesmcspets You must have been the most reasonable person to comment youtube I've seen in ages. Good to know there's still hope besides the moronic kids who pretend to lead the world to lead their own interests.
@wafflesmcspets Jazz and classical are both rooted in AFRICAN origins- The Moors are responsible for so called classical and the so called European instruments can still be viewed on the walls of Ancient Kemet AKA Egypt - I have been there twice- Real History is hard to swallow with a mouth full of Lies- Peace
@juliovac - such vulgarity - what up with that bro? one thing about jazz is although the social construct of race has an impact of how people interact with and react to each other on this third stone from the sun, when a group of very talented people come together and have a musical conversation as you experience in this video clip, there is no color only transcendent cohesiveness. expression of an opinion about race is just that bro. - an opinion. lighten up!

The influence of Prez t was assimilated by Brazilian music around the time of his death in 1959, and helped shape the bossa nova style (listen to Jobim and Getz). Masterful Work!

Top Five Things that make Life Worth Living;
1) The jazz of Charles Mingus.
2) The novels of Samuel Beckett.
3) Seeing students get beaten in riots.
4) Lucid Dreams.
5) Hypnogogic free-association while semi-conscious.

Charles Mingus was a great composer and artist (to me, he is GOD in the Jazz world), but patience was not one of his virtues. He was easily annoyed or angered to the point of exploding when discrimination or disrespect hit him directly. I don't blame him at all for being frustrated, but his short temper got him into plenty of trouble over the years...
What we can do today is to keep his memory and greatness alive by passing the music around for anyone to hear and to learn about him.

Recently published writings on the history of Jazz and Blues indicate that there was a very rich cross-cultural and cross-racial exchange during the early history of each musical style. It seems that the influences and inspiration went BOTH ways, from white to black artists and from black to white.
Yes, it is sad and unjust that the white artists got most of the credit in the 1950's and 1960's, and that the official TV networks had a policy of segregation, but that doesn't alter early history.

Yeah, Jazz has its roots in cross culture music.
Btw, ignoring someone's race doesn't make you tolerant or new age. We should always respect other cultures and appreciate them for their uniqueness instead of trying to assimilate everything into one broad label of humanity.

I'm white, and I don't want to incite even more interwebz race wars, but Jazz and blues was most assuredly invented exclusively by African Americans. Typical that white people try to take credit though; just look at Elvis. He's the "king of rock," yet his style was only new and groundbreaking because it was the first time a white guy was doing it. Real rock and roll stems from the black blues and jazz musicians who set the tables up. What's next, hip hop wasn't made by black people?

@juliovac Charming argument. Really, there's nothing more eloquent than F-bombs for making a point. Race is relevant if you're a history geek. Jazz would not have happened without the (forced) intersection of European and West African musical heritage. But that's a question of culture, not color. Color and culture just happen to be correlated in this case, as they often are.

Actually there is something more eloquent. Making fun of the way people speak. Just because some people think "f bombs" are wrong and useless doesn't make it so.

@wafflesmcspets I think that you are making an assumption that you cannot prove. Re: the notion that "Jazz would not have happened without the (forced) intersection of European and West African musical heritage." Jazz is the product of African expression in the diaspora. It is the creation of Africans in America. Most of the time when you ask people to name what the cultural contribution of Europe was to the Jazz aesthetic they are usually making stereotypic assumptions about African music.
