LDB Special Series #137

Out of my 7,000+ shows and radio broadcasts, I have many concerts that were special for some reasons: the setlist, the
musicians, the venue or unexpected events. These are the ones I'd like to propose you. Most of these come from my
cassettes collection, so they will be released at a slower pace than my Master Series! But you won't be disappointed!
I will try to gather the most unusual things I have in my collection and, as always, your feedback and comments will be my
reward for all the work involved in this project.

DO NOT share this music on mp3, just convert it for your own use. Sharing mp3's is the right way to make me stop sharing
music here.

It is strange that very few have noted on DIME that we recently celebrated the 30th anniversary from the passing of Charles
Mingus, one of the recognized masters of jazz ever. His talent as both composer and bass player was never in discussion.
This is a nice broadcast from the 2nd edition of the Nice Jazz festival (I am not sure if by that time it was already held
in Cimiez) with Dizzy Gillespie guesting since he had played the day before at the festival. It is your chance to listen
to the majestic Fables of Faubus suite which was performed from start to finish that evening. Soundwise this is excellent.
Enjoy!
