A River Runs Through It

Django Reinhardt - Anthology

Tried to embed a YouTube video into this post but can't get it to work. Never had a problem before. Anybody else having trouble with that?

Jason- Mingus Ah Um is a terrific album. Trivia question: the song Goodbye Pork Pie Hat is a tribute to what musician?

David- I remember walking around high school carrying a copy of Love's Forever Changes and thinking I was really cool for doing so. One of the really great albums that is long forgotten.

Lester Young.

Mingus is one of my top 5 favorite bassists (I play, as well.) I highly recommend his biography, "Charles Mingus: Myself When I Am Real."

That would be correct.

The only bio of Mingus I read was Beneath the Underdog, which I know is grossly inaccurate (although entertaining). My wife and I own a home in eastern Long Island, and our neighbor a few doors down is Sue Graham Mingus. But we never saw her, she is kind of reclusive. Now we rent the house so we are hardly ever there.

I understand it was Lyle Alzado's favorite album, too.

If Lyle saw me carrying that album he would have punched me out. He was one scary dude.

Now that I think of it, he graduated in 1967 so by the time Forever Changes came out he was already gone...and not missed!
