McNamara" Subject: RE: Mingus in concert I like the raps on Mingus mostly as artifacts of Joni's interaction with Mingus, hearing his voice, especially where they talk about his funeral ... but I don't think they need to be included when performing the music, meaning I don't see them as essential parts of the compositions themselves.

Those that know the record would find it amusing I'd think - then again, getting this music down would be challenging enough, to add extra stuff would make it trickier.
