Various musicians interpret Mingus' "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat"
Mercurial bassist and bandleader Charles Mingus was signed to Columbia
Records for the briefest of time during 1959. His Columbia recordings,
however, remain some of the most inspired, mood-jumping jazz in
history. The flowing sadness of "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" (unedited here
for the first time on CD!) rings like a funeral chorus that pitches
headlong into a celebration of Lester Young's life and improvising flexibility, rather than his death. Read complete review from amazon.com.
