Just finished a wonderful biography of Charles Mingus Myself when I Am Real. Much more informative and entertaining than Charles' autobiography, Beneath the Underdog. Ends with the Joni work and Mingus' death. Did any tapes of the Electric Ladyland sessions that Joni did before retooling the sessions to the album we know as Mingus ever surface? Am now interested in listening to Mingus' stuff. Asked a jazz-knowledgeable person at a DC record shop. He recommended Mingus Ah Um and Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus. Anybody have any other suggestions?
