Charles Mingus - Something Like a Bird: His Last Recording Sessions (Jazz Best Collection 1000)



Something Like a Bird fue grabado en 1978 con Mingus ya enfermo, en las mismas sesiones que dieron lugar también al álbum Me, Myself and Eye (Atlantic, 1979).
Luego, solo participó de la grabación de Mingus (Asylum, 1979), de Joni Mitchell, antes de su muerte.
En esta ocasión no toca, sino que únicamente supervisa sus composiciones.
27 intérpretes dirigidos por Paul Jeffrey participan de la extensa Something Like a Bird; mientras que 21 conducidos por Paul Jeffrey y Ricky Ford toman parte en la balada Farewell, Farewell.
