The provenance of Jazz In Detroit is well documented. Recorded at the city's shortlived performance space and cultural hub Strata (not to be confused with New York's Strata-East record label, a like-minded but entirely separate entity), the set chronicles the first night of a residency Mingus' quintet undertook there from 13 -18 February 1973. The performance was broadcast live on the city's not-for-profit radio station WDET FM. Tapes recorded by WDET were later left in the safe-keeping of Detroit-based band member, drummer Roy Brooks' wife, Hermione Brooks

Mingus meets strata: live from the gallery. I’m trying to play the truth of what I am. The reason it’s difficult is because I’m changing all the time. The radical discovery by Amir Abdullah of 5 two-track master tapes in the care of Hermine Brooks ­– widow of innovative Detroit drummer Roy Brooks – of the Charles Mingus Quintet recorded live in Detroit at Strata Concert Gallery is cause for some serious celebration. Thanks to BBE, 180 Proof Records and Strata Records we can now tune in to WDET-FM and transport ourselves back to Detroit ’73, and get a taste of the furious energy and compositional sophistication of a unique and modern master at work in the most intimate of settings.

My only issue with this excellent archive discovery is the sequencing. The whole concert (including the radio broadcast outro) could have fitted comfortably on 3 discs without having to split any tunes over two discs, and the two alternate takes plus the interview with Roy Brooks on a fourth. I know the interview was actually conducted between sets and segues seamlessly from the previous track but it seems a bizarre decision to leave that in sequence but then insert the two alternate takes between the slightly (and unnecessarily) truncated Noddin' Ya Head Blues and the radio broadcast outro which begins with the last few notes of that tune, purely in order to have the radio outro at the end of the last disc. Even if it were felt essential to leave the interview in sequence, the alternate takes should have been at the end the last disc so that the ending of Noddin' Ya Head Blues wasn't unceremoniously chopped off. And whichever way they were ordered, the contents of the last two discs would have fit on one - there's absolutely no excuse for using 5 discs for this release.Otherwise, 10/10 for a superb discovery that isn't just another date from a tour.
