Although they lacked the imagination that comes with age, they showed ex ceptional talent and their names may be well worth remembering. On piano was Mel Waldron, Jackie McLean played alto sax; Cole Hoppin, tenor sax; Wilbur Hogan, drums; and Mingus, string bass. Their type of jazz was experi mental—mostly attempts at new sounds—and often loud and brash, at times bordering on rhythm and blues. Among their selections were "Tonight at Noon," "Tourist in Manhattan," "Profile on Jackie," "A Foggy Day on an East River Highway," and "Profile on Monk." McLean and Hoppin were fea tured in nearly every number, with the rhythm instruments do ing only infrequent solo work. Throughout the concert, Min gus led the group from the back ground where he would encour age the soloists to express any and all original ideas they might have had in mind.
