Nola Penthouse Studios, Nov. 19, 1960
Steve Berman
Charles Mingus_, _The World of Cecil Taylor_, and _The Straight Horn of
Steve Lacy_ were all recorded on November 19, 1960 at Nola Penthouse
Studios. Must have been pretty amazing sessions, if true. Does anyone have
contradictory information?

sessions recorded at Nola. Many years ago, my brother briefly dated his
daughter and when he asked my brother what kind of music he liked, my
brother asked, "Did you ever hear of Charles Mingus?" Needless to say,
my brother was quite embarrassed and taken aback when Mr. d'Orleans
explained his role at some of the most important jazz recordings ever
made.

According to Alan Saul's Dolphy Discography, the Mingus was recorded on
October 20.

Yes :-)
CHARLES MINGUS PRESENTS CHARLES MINGUS was recorded October 20,
THE WORLD OF CECIL TAYLOR was recorded October 12 and 13
THE STRAIGHT HORN OF STEVE LACY was recorded November 19.
This is from liner notes on the CD reissue (Lacy), the Taylor Mosaic
set and the Mingus Mosaic set and the Mingus discography in Priestley's
book. The Taylor Mosaic set discography is by Michael Cuscuna and
the liners by Buell Neidlinger, two rather authoritative sources.
The Mingus discography is by Brian Priestley, so it agrees with his
book :-), which is pretty definitive.

Well, while I was suspicious about the putative same date of the above
albums (thanks to Marcel for the (hopefully!) correct information), the
other two Candid CDs I have--Booker Little's _Out Front_ and Max Roach's
_We Insist! Freedom Now Suite_--do list different recording dates (March
17/April 4, 1961, and August 31/September 6, 1961, respectively).
