Charles Mingus & Eric Dolphy Quintet / Sextet - The Salle Wagram Concert (Complete Edition) (2015)

This edition presents, for the first time ever on a single collection, the complete long unavailable concert by Charles Mingus and Eric Dolphy at the Salle Wagram, in Paris. The concert started as a sextet, but after the first number trumpeter Johnny Coles collapsed due to a stomach ulcer and the performance continued as a quintet. This concert must not be confused with that of the Theatre des Champs Elysees, recorded the following day. As a bonus, we have added the two complete sets by the Chico Hamilton Quintet with Dolphy at Newport 58, including an extended previously unissued version of Pottsville U.S.A. on which Dolphy plays a long solo on alto sax.
