Joni stated: This was a difficult but challenging project. I was trying to please Charlie and still be true to myself. I cut EACH Song THREE or FOUR times. I was after something personal -- something musical -- something indescribable. During these experimental recording dates, I had the opportunity to play with some great musicians. I would like to thank them here -- they helped me to search. EDDIE GOMEZ, Bass JOHN GUERIN, Drums PHIL WOODS, Alto Sax GERRY MULLIGAN, Baritone Sax DANNY RICHMOND, Narration TONY WILLIAMS, Drums JOHN McLAUGHLIN, Mini Moog STANLEY CLARKE, Bass None of these musicians are actually included on the completed MINGUS album. Of course there are outtakes, although it's not clear how many of them contain a finished vocal as opposed to a 'guide' vocal. - - - - - - RE: "She must also have a vast collection of tapes from her pre-recording cafi days" I can only say that there are more than most people realize, AND less than you'd expect given the examples of Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen. At this point in time ... I have NO expectation that any of these recording will be released during her lifetime.
