I had the opportunity to see Mingus and his band and then Elvin Jones and his band afterwards At either the Bitter End or the Bottom Line in N.Y. City. Both had younger musicians who were very good. Minus died two years after I saw that gig. What an incredible upright bass player.

My bad “Mingus”, not “Minus”.

Thanks to Joni Mitchell, a lot of people discovered Mingus who otherwise wouldn’t have.
