Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars pleasing.......2003-02-27

This is a pleasant, upbeat album without a hint of anger and may disappoint fans wanting an "edgier" Mingus. However, this was to be his last recording as a muscian and in that sense it is a nice way to bow out. In fact, given this, the titles Farewell, Farewell and Goodbye, Eric seem poignant although in fact Goodbye, Eric is really an upbeat number and the real standout on this disc for me. Lionel Hampton is good and seems at home with the music. Overall, most anyone interested in mainstream, modern jazz would enjoy this recording if not exactly get ecstatic over it. The packaging mimics an old gate-fold type vinyl record album with the disc in a sleeve which will probably soon wear out. The packaging is slightly larger than a standard jewel case which may annoy the persnickety ones out there. The liner notes are an abomination due to some shoddy translation from the Italian. Lastly, the tune It Might as Well Be Spring sounds like it is from some entirely different session but as no session notes are included, who knows?
