I've heard from alot of older cats,including my Uncle and Pops mention that Mingus was just as talented, if not more talented of a composer and arranger as Duke Ellington and Count Basie. I never really took the time to dissect his music but I know he is a main cat.
On a sidenote: his daughter graduated with my parents from Compton High back in 68. Moms said she was an artsy-type boho chick.
