Good album, and that’s one of my favorite songs on it.

Merry Mingus Christmas!!

I have this album! It’s wonderful. That bassline is from another planet of beings with 8 12 inch long digits.

I didn’t notice Hancock’s name on the list though. Must be the shock and awe of Pastorius.

This caught my eye, I'll have to get it - three great artists, I have albums by Mingus, Mitchell and Pastorius both with Weather Report and solo, and somehow I've never listened to this album.
