[Skepseironeia]

Such a charming version.

[hamradium]

This is such a wonderful elegy.

[Phreekoid]

Excellent quality recording...gives me the shivers in all the right places...

[bushboi69]

Amazing .... Just amazing

[tenorfreek]

Noop, Saxplayer is Seamus Blake.

[kingkrab123]

I wouldn't mind a Stand up Bass but they're so expensive, especially for a whole pair of Strings.

[teenmetalhead666]

i love the design at the top of his bass' headstock

[heyitscaroline]

Oh my god. <3

[narutofiles]

nice tune though



[narutofiles]

I came here looking for moanin'!!!!!!!!!!!



[DEXMEXCORP]

It definitely is seamus blake, very early, but seamus

[nativeson76]

I am mistaken. Booker Ervin is indeed a Tenor Sax player. He is playing sax on this tune.

[nativeson76]

Booker Ervin is a trumpet Player. Sax sounds like Eric Dolphy.

[LinnetOgLaursen]

Horace Parlan is a pianoplayer!

[Artwant]

Just googled it and the sax is attributed to Booker Ervin and Horace Parlan.

[jambae]

nice



[livyliv09]

the saxophone player is George Adams...BOOM

[WatchMovies94]

Hääj robin :D

[craigsunderland2]

:)



[TheTonde91]

pure greatness!

[MllnDllrMan]

OMFG!!!!! Where have I been for the past mellenium!!!!! I have heard this song 100 times and 100 ways...

[eatmeallthecok]

so fuckin great



[kdt05b]

This and Moanin' are 2 of the best songs ever made by one of the best composers who ever lived.

[realironmonkey]

transports me to a transcendental realm, the spirit world ...

[ZMGBass]

Possibly the most mournful song of all time? Even so, it's beautiful.

[NevrSURRENDER]

Pentangle, the English folk group did some Mingus covers, including Pork Pie hat, which was a tribute to Lester Young.

[NevrSURRENDER]

Charley Rouse (alto, tenor) and Jimmy Knepper (baritone) I think were on the original version. Booker Irving played tenor with him for a while. But this classic was part of the repertoire up until the end. I saw him play at the El Mocambo in Toronto a year or so before he died. He was very bow legged at that point and had difficulty standing. He became wheel chair bound shortly after.

[prettyinspain]

Please help! Is this a combo of more than one song or is it all Goodbye Pork Pie Hat? Because I want to download them.

[bahjira]

@prettyinspain

All Goodbye Pork Pie Hat

[Sicioldr]

This piece is like...sex

[berrypossum]

ever see the picture of his "road case"? it's impressive.

[SomewhatDamaged14914]

I could just chill out to this for the rest of my life. And I am a metalhead. If anyone likes heavy music plus the Jazzy element, try Isahn.

[SomewhatDamaged14914]

Sorry it's Ihsahn.

[topflight013]

Can't stop listening to this song. Amazing

[Electrifieditize]

Man had a MAD temper

[heypossiblenephew]

ZERO dislikes!!! :)

[cascas11]

[ericlewis77]

Thanks ...this is a great version. Cheers.

[roni1983]

So awsome.

[sharethecorn]

lol WOW



[Vortecdude]

Zero dislikes. This has restored some faith in humanity.

[loumaTROM]

@Vortecdude How could someone do? I mean,he can not be your favorite bass player or this can not be your favorite of his composition but you can't really not like this

[DurvalDavi]

Feels good man.

[eunoia00]

Great upload. Thanks

[JazzyZenBrotha]

Excellent stuff right here!

[TheMingusjazz]

Charles Mingus Jr.

[richieliberties]

i believe the sax player the tune was named in memory

 of was,lester young,?

[AlisoViejoMan]

Man this reminds me of the episode of the Flinstones when Fred and Barney were Beatniks - performing some cool jazz.

[bbyrd009b]

Well, inquiring minds wanna know! Righteous sax.

[trhummer1]

The sax player is not Seamus Blake; he is too young to have been on this session. It is either Booker Ervin or John Handy.

[Lucithus]

@trhummer1 This is absolutely Seamus Blake...1000% This is the Mingus Big Band...not the original recording.

[widehero]

crafted a hatless :(

[mediashiznaks]

The best performance of this I've heard yet. A fucking masterpiece.

[twrobalin]

One of the 3 Greatest Jazz albums of all time. Right up there with "Kind of Blue" and "A Love Supreme".

[jojona74lac]

it soso like Eric

[Valoe7]

I think this song made me jazz my pants, better than any girl has every done.

[jamesbaksa]

It is just a great tune. 

[DoctorCluny]

Yow!

[ELGROOVER]

♪♫♥²↑⁀⁀☼ ;-j

[bbyrd009b]

[dralphr]

seamus blake.

[william52648]

*)Goobye, Pork Pie Hat*

[tinyturtlesoup]

this song gives me the blues

[vurvurvur]

i think the saxo are Shafi Hadi or Booker Ervin, but shure i'm not men... if you know some day, you can PMe... great sound, and great taste :)

[Dubbedproduction9]

i never thought i'd be able to say i had a favourite song, it just sounds so narrow minded and thoughtless. but i have never heard anything that has been more inspiring than this, you just can't beat it, it's too good.

[zigzag5627]

Seamus Blake

[tucker11395]

I get shivers every time I hear that sax.

[Shmoanator26]

This song is just amazing

[katheryn118]

amazing I never tire of hearing

[emilybro16]

Ths song gives me the chills! Mingus was so passionate. What a great salute to the amazing Lester Young, another fantastic inspirational musician.

[turixism]

Is is just me, or is the pegbox shaped like the head of a dragon?

[zoikon]

such a good interpretation!! :D

[Echnaton1954]

Commenting ain´t necessary because beauty describes itself !

[imnotroger]

so many great recordings of this......never heard tis one. a revelation. THANKS!

[Hollowsrage]

this song has way too few views

[phourtay]

why can't people just listen to the music?

[JokingCarl]

@phourtay

I wish more people could just enjoy the music on its own like you and I, my friend.

[TimsgiarK]

@JokingCarl i think its about time all commenting was disabled!

[PennybagDarrell]

@JokingCarl count me in brother the music is where its at

[MonkeyWithKnives]

@JokingCarl we are here my friend, the ones who shut up and listen :)

[BrianWren]

@phourtay

If you have to ask, it probably can't be explained to you .

You keep enjoying the music.

Don't begrudge others the means of experiencing music that works for them.

[MrAarontyl3r]

@gregorymak You speak bullshit, sir.

[gregorymak]

@MrAarontyl3r You need to be educated sir.

[Shawnieboy33]

@gregorymak Wow, I thought you were a troll, but you appear to be legit. Probably just a good troll.

If not: Lol, you sir, are retarded.

[gregorymak]

@Shawnieboy33 I'm retarded because a piece of music without lyrics is being called a song? Sure, that makes sense. Go home kid.

[Shawnieboy33]

@gregorymak By your logic, music wasn't invented until the late 1800s.

[gregorymak]

@Shawnieboy33 Why? Did I ever say this is not music dude? All I said that it's not a song because it doesn't have lyrics. Please point me out where I said that this is not music.

[Shawnieboy33]

@gregorymak late 1700s*

[FluffyIsBoss]

@gregorymak If you're going to argue like this over a completely stupid point and even mutter the phrase "go home kid" then you're too musically immature to be listening to this song.

[gregorymak]

@FluffyIsBoss What does that make you? A dumbass for not minding he's own business? For your information I've been playing Jazz every night for 9 years now, so don't tell me I'm immature when you have no clue who I am or what I do.

[FluffyIsBoss]

@gregorymak I'm just pointing out the reputation you're making for yourself.

[JokingCarl]

@gregorymak Alright now. I think that's quite enough. You obviously don't respect Mingus enough to not argue on his songs, so, if I hear one more obnoxious, stupid comment where you make yourself out to be no smarter than a squirrel, I'm blocking you. That of course goes for anyone who's going to make the same type of comment against you. Fair?

[antonellamarieeee]

@gregorymak YOUR PROBABLY UGLY IN PERSON

[surtuo]

This song is pure sex.

[gregorymak]

@surtuo Dont mean to sound cocky, but it's not a song if it has no lyrics :)

[skyman747]

@gregorymak No need for lyrics when the music speaks for itself.

[gregorymak]

@skyman747 Completely agree, however u still cannot call it a song.

[pandalon]

@gregorymak idiot

[gregorymak]

@pandalon Grow up.

[Shmoanator26]

@gregorymak any collection of musical tones to create a tune that is satisfying to the ear is considered a song.

[gregorymak]

@Shmoanator26 While I see what u mean, I have to disagree and say that its considered a piece of music not a song. Anyway, I didn't come here to bash anyone. Just wanted to share what I learned from my music studies in university.

[JokingCarl]

@gregorymak May I ask , then, exactly what the definition of a song is? What is the definition of a piece of music? Are they not so similar to be synonyms, and therefore the same thing?

[gregorymak]

@JokingCarl A song is a piece of music which has lyrics. Someone has to actually sing the lyrics to be called a song.

[FluffyIsBoss]

@gregorymak Who cares.

Lets just enjoy the song.

[gregorymak]

@FluffyIsBoss You might not care. There's many who do. Peace.

[Shmoanator26]

@gregorymak again, I dissagree, but I understand what you are saying and I wish to leave it at that.

good luck on your studies, btw.

[gregorymak]

@Shmoanator26 It's what I learned at uni :P Cheers

[TheJugHeadHat]

@surtuo I dunno, but I definitely just came listening to it.

[tenorsaxmaster5]

The tenor sax player is Seamus Blake. He absoluetly kills this tune. Simply Beautiful!

[aarfeld]

@tenorsaxmaster5: I've heard him performing elsewhere on You Tube with the Scott Kinsey Group. He's a very impressive player.

[Explorerways]

Simply Amazing! Thanks for sharing..
