"This version suffers from the lack of the last two tracks, which were omitted for a stupid reason (because people said Mingus couldnt swing). Together at Noon was easily one of the most badass jazz tracks ever." Reply

"Definitely, not a jazz expert. But, I found this album enjoyable given the more melodic tenor soloing over just bass and drums. Features Ray Brown on bass and Shelly Manne on drums.
