Thanks Ian. I'm in the mood for ordering this, having been digging out to 'Pithecanthropus Erectus' and 'Blues and Roots' this weekend.

So this is NOT the Monterey gig. The liner notes seem to intimate that it is. You can never have too much Mingus.

Correct. It's music written for Monterey 1965 but which he didn't get a chance to play because he was only allowed a 30 minute set due to over-runs. He played the whole lot a week later at UCLA, where this was recorded.
