Tenor saxophonist-bandleader-composer Sonny Rollins was a longtime friend of Charles Mingus, and the two bandleaders could often be found alternating sets at such famed venues as New York’s Five Spot in the 1950s and ‘60s.

Though they only made a few recordings together, Miles and Mingus enjoyed a long shared history, beginning with their first encounter in Los Angeles in 1946.

FAREWELL DANNY MIXON, pianist (and tap dancer!) from Harlem who joined Charles Mingus’ touring band in 1976 and recorded on the album Cumbia & Jazz Fusion…
