Compare and contrast:
Mingus 1964 (w/ Jaki Byard, Eric Dolphy, and Clifford Jordan)
with
Mingus 1974 (w/ Don Pullen, George Adams, and Hamiet Bluiett).
Pay special attention to the piano.
Perhaps, a better comparison would be to this lesser-known 1972 edition of the group, since they're playing the same tune, "Peggy's Blue Skylight", but I just really love the Adams-Pullen era of Mingus (especially Changes Two) and wanted an excuse to link to that badass Umbria video.
Though it would be a good exercise, I don't think I will be completing this "assignment". We're on the cusp of a three-day holiday weekend, after all, and I'm pretty sure I'm not up to the challenge.
