In April 1964 Mingus went to Europe with one of his greatest bands
featuring Eric Dolphy on alto sax, bass clarinet and flute, Johnny Coles
on trumpet, Clifford Jordan on tenor sax, Jaki Byard on piano and
Dannie Richmond on drums. Part of the repertoire was first "rehearsed"
in front of the Town Hall audience in New York before the band left the
United States to play their first concert in Amsterdam's Concertgebouw.
After a week of touring the sextet was suddenly reduced to quintet when
Coles collapsed on stage during the performance of 'So Long Eric' on
April 17 in Paris.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
1. 'Fables Of Faubus' is edited from the full length of 35:00
(according to Lindenmaier/Salewski)

2. The timings for 'So Long Eric' and 'Parkeriana' come from d
(they're wrong in liner notes)

* During this performance of 'So Long Eric', Johnny Coles collapsed
due to a perforated gastric ulcer; he was hospitalized at the American
Clinic at Neuilly, France, for the remainder of the Charles Mingus European Tour 1964,

Musidisc 500072 MU 763 and America AM 003-004-005 (3LP) contain an edited
version of 'So Long Eric' (see April 19 for more information),

'So Long Eric' is mistitled 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat' on d and e

a) Le Jazz CD 19
b) Le Jazz CD 38
c) France's Concert FCD 102
d) France's Concert FCD 110
e) Revenge 32002
f) France's Concert FC 102 (LP)

Based on the above timings alone, the shns look like:

(Sophisticated Lady - missing)
d1t01 Peggy's Blue Skylight 12:53
d1t02 Orange Was the Color of Her Dress 11:38
d1t03 Meditations 22:42
d1t04 Fables of Faubus 24:59
d2t01 So Long Eric 28:53
d2t02 Parkeriana 24:18


Which would make our "correctly ordered" layout:

Disc one:
d2t01 28:53
d1t03 22:42
d1t02 11:38
total 63:13

Disc two:
d1t04 24:59
d2t02 24:18
d1t01 12:53
total 62:10

Can anyone more familiar with Mingus' repertoire verify this?
Any help/details would be appreciated!
