No love for yet for Mingus... so here's some.

And I'll never pass on a chance to pimp my buddy Kevin's work. Here he is with Cuban percussionist Cyro Baptista performing something rare these days... truly original music.
I studied BASS in the early 80's (group stuff) with Jamil Nasser in NYC, a personal friend of Mingus. He told us incredible Mingus stories and described him as by far the most talented technical bass player who ever lived.
