M 103 Charles Mingus - Montage c/w Extrasensory Perception Lee Konitz (as) Phyllis Pinkerton (p) George Koutzen (cello) Charles Mingus (b) Al Levitt (d) Lennie Tristano's Manhattan Studio, 317 East 32nd Street, NY, April 12, 1952
it is obvious you have an advanced and deep passion for good music. surely you must know this is wrong, it's one thing to put on a peggy lee, ella mae morse, anita o'day or some other that you know is plentiful and can easily be replaced but these discs you are ruining are archaeologically and historically rare and dear
my jaw dropped open when i saw this, jkutler that is an incredibly rare record that in the single playing of which has been destroyed, any enjoyment of this hard to find song is ruined by witnessing the extreme ignorance/lack of care on display. my grave apologies
This gramophone is slightly overspeeded. Anyway, this is a most complex tune by CM. Konitz' solo was written down for he could not record improvisations because a he was under contract for another company. Mingus and Lee would come back to this tune in 1972, on "Mingus and friends in concert"; Lee's solo became part of the orchestral arrangement.
This is marvelous camera jazz, with a lot of Lennie Tristano influence.

you should never play a newer 78 on a crank machine. Your records will get destroyed
