Mingus' Workshop uintet was
composed of four adept instru
mentalists who appeared to be
just leaving their teens. 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.
An interesting side incident
occurred as the quintet was com
ing to State College. The tarpaul
in blew off the top of the car
and several instruments fell off:
