Four of the ten tracks are devoted to the orchestra including one, &#8220;Invisible Lady&#8221; with a vocal by Elvis Costello. &#8220;Noon Night&#8221; is a ballad arranged by Gunther Schuller with gorgeous solos by Robert Routch on French horn and tenorist Seamus Blake.  <\/p>\n<p>  The big band cuts are typically easily identifiable Mingus works like &#8220;Passions Of A Woman Loved&#8221; with solos by saxophonist Vincent Herring, trumpeter Alex Sipiagin, trombonist Conrad Herwig and pianist David Kikoski. Its&#8217; music evokes an image of a rather romantically rambunctious woman.\tThis is the finest big band in the world and it stands to reason its&#8217; eleven piece orchestral brother ranks the same in its&#8217; class.    <\/font><\/p>\n<p>    \t          <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mingus Big BandTonight At Noon: Three Or Four Shades Of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3460\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
