Charles Mingus and Friends in Concert is a live album by the jazz bassist and composer
Charles Mingus, recorded at the
Philharmonic Hall of the
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in 1972 and released on the
Columbia label.[1] The CD release added five previously unreleased performances from the concert, but did not include the opening track, Fats Waller's "Honeysuckle Rose", present in the LP version and on former Japanese CD editions.
Critical reception
The
AllMusic review by
Scott Yanow stated that "most of the music is overly loose but the overcrowded 'E's Flat, Ah's Flat Too' and particularly the 'Little Royal Suite' are memorable."[2]
