Mini Episode: Addendum to Peak Mingus

I've had a busy week, and have not yet finished the episode that I meant to put out this week, about the music of pianist Bill Evans.  While I was choosing music for the Evans episode, I came across this gem, a piece composed by Charles Mingus for an album called Modern Jazz Concert, put together by Gunther Schuller and George Russell, both true believers in the melding of jazz and classical music. I'll be back next week with an episode about Bill Evans, for now I hope you enjoy Charles Mingus' Revelations (First Movement)  If you have questions, comments, or requests, please call the WNPM voicemail box at (424) 704-1666 or email wnpmpod@gmail.com

I'm a lover of jazz music and have spend the last 20 years digging through record crates at the record stores, yard sales, swap meets, etc, in the Los Angeles area, and want to share some of the great jazz I've discovered along the way. Most episodes are focused on a single jazz artist, some are focused on various jazz styles, to point others in the right direction when it comes to finding out about great jazz
