faceman Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 1. I just listened to a recording of Epiptah on NPR, what a piece of music, Something like 4,230 bars! 2. It was composed by Charles Mingus in 1966 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I was taught by a great bass player called David Leahy over the easter. He had a friend who lent him an old tape recorder that had been given to him by none other than Dave Holland, when he left the UK to play with Miles (supposedly this tape recorder was once used by Holland for recording, and had some original cuts on it). Anyway, from Dave Holland to Mingus you can take your pick. Easier than I thought! p.s. - I had always thought it was Milt Hinton who played on "Shoes...."?
