Byard's note choices are way out of the ordinary.

I saw Bobby Jones with this Mingus band at the Village Vanguard. I had never heard of him and I understand that he was a walk on. The band was great although not the equivalent of the 1964 band with Eric Dolphy and Clifford Jordan that I saw at Town Hall. That would be asking too much.

I love you, Dannie Richmond

[@mananaadamia1657]

And you, Charlie Mingus

So good

[@Nepenthean58]

After "In a Sentimental Mood", Jaki Byard plays "All Too Soon"

[@scottlukert5287]

Pure artistry

[@davidedadam6141]

Dannie Richmond is cool as ice and hot as fire. Astonishing.

[@darrellminx5459]

One of my favorite compositions. It has to be so tight to work with all the time changes but it's still lose And free.

[@scottlukert5287]

This band may have saved Charles' life. Probably many others too. The photography is very impressive.

[@mustooch]

Danny Richmond might be one of the coolest jazz drummers

[@scottlukert5287]

Summation of 30 years of instrumental prowess. About to crash in about 5 years. Certainly by Charles's passing.

[@MEA_COMMENT_IN_ILLO]

This Quintet is a Sextet! Who's the blond tenor player?

[@ebjazz93]

Bobby Jones
