ci sarà prima o poi un deficiente che mette "non mi piace"?

[MsTapenade]

@MrFulvietto58

Non credo. Questa roba è troppo ricercata. I mclaughlinfags si spaccano solo di roba elettrica.

[AmyMeacham]

favorite version.

[emeraldomusik]

those solo pieces  of that album are like jewels and brilliants

It's a CHARLES MINGUS song "good bye pork pie hat" (Mingus AH HUM)... nothing to do with Stevie Wonder !

[theHellzapoppin]

faut avoir les tripes pour se taper mingus out en restant sobre (je parle véléité, là). mc laughlin a tenadnce à me les briser menu avec ses solos à la speedy gonzales. Ici, rien de tout cela. tout dans la sobriété. chapeau

[yuritim]

incredibly spiritual and uplifting music, the whole album.

divine melodies that have remained in my awareness since the early 70's and will throughout life.

[Zorbasrhodos]

Its a "song" for Stevie Wonder, isn't it?

[EdTracey347]

@Zorbasrhodos

Charles Mingus wrote this song in 1959 as an elegy for the saxophonist Lester Young (who had died two months earlier) who was known for wearing that style of hat.

@EdTracey347 Also known as Theme For Lester Young

For me, this album is a peak in his entire output. Everything is on top form, and the influences seem to come from unknown sources - unlike later output. A very unique sound and mood.

[serotta2]

@martinjp1958 Yes, definitely a peak and this track in particular is simply perfection in every way, in every note. Bravo, I forgot how many times I’ve played this record back in the day, over and over and over.

[leoyaus]

@martinjp1958 so true - I'm glad you said it

btw - has he ever ended a song better?

[greencouch18]

Thanks for uploading it.

man, I sure would appreciate it if you could post Peace 1, and Follow Your Heart. Along with this great version of Goodbye PorkPie Hat, were my favorites from this incredibly hard to get CD. Mclaughlin is as precise as lightening playing that Ovation. One of the most beautiful Albums I've ever heard. If they reissued it I'd scoop it up in a heartbeat.

thanx for posting this.

[leftyodoul32]

Thanks so much for posting this! The one and only McLaughlin record I ever bought. I personally dig the entire "guitar only " side the most, and would love to see Waltz for Bill Evans, Hearts and Flowers, Follow Your Heart...any of it is stupendous!

Mille mille mille Grazie!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Donbecker5]

Could you play a few more tunes from that? Especially the full band tunes...?
