Live In Paris 1964 Vol.2

This second volume continues the intensity of Charles Mingus’ concert at Salle Wagram on April 18, 1964. Surrounded by Clifford Jordan (tenor saxophone), Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone, bass clarinet), Jaki Byard (piano), and Dannie Richmond (drums), Mingus delivers an explosive performance. This album highlights “So Long Eric”, a poignant tribute to Dolphy, and “Parkeriana”, a free and inventive evocation of Charlie Parker. With virtuosic flights and daring rhythms, Live in Paris Vol. 2 captures the essence of Mingus’ jazz: intense, untamed, and deeply inspired.
