The Main Inspiration For Charles Mingus Was Duke Ellington With Whom He Played Briefly In The Early 50s Before Having The Dubious Distinction Of Being Personally Fired By The Duke.

This Was Mingus' Last Major Statement For Quite Some Time And Aside From A Solo Piano Album And A Series Of Live Recordings From The 1964 Tour Also His Last Album Until 1970. It Closes Out The Most Productive And Significant Chapter Of His Career And One Of The Most Fertile Inventive Hot Streaks Of Any Composer In Jazz History.
