This gig for Mingus and Tal Farlow launched their famed careers in music.
"At first Mingus thought he was rusty. He hadn't been playing, he'd been carrying
mail. He used to say, "I don't think I can do it. I haven't been playing enough."
Well, it was the same way with Tal when he first came to work with me. Tal used
to quit every night. He'd say, "I can't play that fast. I can't play like you do.
I'm not used to playing in that tempo!" I said, "Tal, as a trio, we don't have
drums or any volume control like that. For loudness or softness we've got to use
speed as our main device. To finish the set we've got to use pacing."" .......
