Mitchell's Mesmerizing Collaboration With the Legendary Charles Mingus. Featuring Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Jaco Pastorius.

This album was one of Mingus's final projects before his death in 1979. The collaboration between Mitchell and Mingus began in 1977, with Mingus composing six tunes for the album and Mitchell adding lyrics to them. The album includes tracks like "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," a tribute to saxophonist Lester Young, and "The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines," which showcases Mitchell's ability to weave intricate narratives into jazz melodies. Produced by Mitchell herself, the album captures the spontaneity and improvisational spirit of jazz, with many tracks recorded live in the studio.
