I have listened to the posthumous "Epitaph" that Mingus was working on shortly before he died. I really wish he could have recorded it. It would have been his greatest. That being said, the musicians that play on the posthumous show are not bad and it's worth hearing as a vision of what could've been. The actualized concert almost beat "Black Saint" and Mingus doesn't even play on the former.
