Sadly for them, and for the world, Dolphy was long gone and Mingus about to be by the time I was aware of their work. There usually are giants...it's too often true that we aren't willing to recognize them among us sufficiently, or let the crowd (or the crowd-handlers) decide which (or which moderately large, or no-, talent) we should be attending to instead. (Of course, what jazz I encountered in 1963 was all vibrations of my component parts as gametes and not too much further along than zygote stages-my parents were jazz and other sorts of music fans, and newlyweds in the nightclub scene in Fairbanks, Alaska.
