Mingus is genius, of course. As a bass player, it's humbling to hear how his 
compositional skills transcend the limitations of an upright bass. I actually 
just picked up an interesting 45 by his son Eric. The A-side is a cool vocal 
and bass song called "How I Miss My Gun" that owes alot to the NYC poetry 
scene. The B-side is him howling "Baba O'Reilly" over his solo bass backing. 
Very cool.
