The second half of the concert has three ex-Mingus sidemen returning for a jam session on two Ellington standards (‘Perdido’ and ‘C Jam Blues’), which was released on LP at the time. All great fun, especially the contributions of Roland Kirk, but the meat of the set is the unreleased first half featuring the then-regular front line of Adams and Bluiett with the addition of Faddis, who worked with Mingus in 1972 but had already moved into the NYC freelance scene.
