Review
by Scott Yanow
One of the high points of Charles Mingus' career was his appearance at the 1964 Monterey Jazz Festival. This double LP contains the entire set: a lengthy Duke Ellington medley, "Orange Was the Color of Her Dress," and a stunning version of "Meditations on Integration" as performed by a 12-piece group featuring such players as altoist Charles McPherson, John Handy (on tenor), trumpeter Lonnie Hillyer, and pianist Jaki Byard. This music showcases the bassist/composer/bandleader at the peak of his powers.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Uno de los puntos álgidos de la carrera de Charles Mingus fue su aparición en el Monterey Jazz Festival de 1964. Este doble LP contiene el set completo: un largo popurrí de Duke Ellington, "Orange Was the Color of Her Dress", y una impresionante versión de "Meditations on Integration" interpretada por un grupo de 12 músicos que incluía al contralto Charles McPherson, John Handy (tenor), el trompetista Lonnie Hillyer y el pianista Jaki Byard. Esta música muestra al bajista, compositor y director de orquesta en la cima de su talento.
