• Track Listing

Recorded in New York in November 1977 under the auspices of Lionel Hampton, these 10 tracks represent one of Charles Mingus’ last sessions. The lineup is outstanding (Gerry Mulligan on baritone sax; Woody Shaw on trumpet; Ricky Ford on tenor sax, and Dannie Richmond on drums) and the performances are exquisite on "Peggy’s Blue Skylight," "Fables of Faubus," "Caroline Keikkie Mingus," "Slop," "So Long Eric," "Farewell, Farewell," "Just for Laughs Parts 1 & 2," "It Might as Well be Spring" and "Duke Ellington’s Sound of Love."
