"It´s not often musicians blow the roof off a joint but the carpenters were up on Carnegie Hall after the Charles Mingus session. Mingus´demolition crew brought a powerful agent: live jazz in the tradition of Charlie Parker's concerts of the late 40's and early 50's. Mingus was on the stand with Bird and knows how to make the thing work."...
..."The recording leaves something to be desired but so did the quality of the television broadcasts from the moon. When the shit cooks, who gives a good goddam whether you use gas or electricity? I´ll drink my Johnnie Walker Black out of a Coke bottle if I ever have to."
-David Weiss 1974.
