Charles Mingus Sextet: 1972
Chris Albertson hosted and produced “The Jazz Set" for Public television in 1972. One celebrated episode posted here, in audio form, featured the Charles Mingus sextet of the time, with Charles McPherson, Bobby Jones, Lonnie Hillyer, John Foster and Roy Brooks. At the time, I remember being disappointed that Dannie Richmond had been seduced by the much higher salary of the Mark-Almond Band; but listening now, Brooks did a magnificent job in his stead.
