fresh interpretation of mingus

[Stephen Gani]

now, this is what i call fresh :p and who said playing mainstream
jazz has to be hard and boring

speaking of which, i've uploaded the haitian fight song into my
multiply. judging from how we progress in term of mainstream and
standard jazz, maybe in 10 years from now we can add this as our gig
song....

btw, haitian fight song is one of the Mingus' vibest and grooviest songs....

also uploaded is marlena shaw's women of the ghetto... if you want to
know what singing dynamics is, listen to this one... i have listened
to this song hundreds of times and it still gives me the chill every
now and then....
