This Mingus small group doing a pretty straight swing/bop Take the A Train not far removed from how Ellington's band might have done it at the time. Then Dolphy comes in and takes it out there. Mingus stops everything to take a **** and just let Dolphy go. And his solo explores every harmonic corner of that song, never losing it. Listen close. It's always there, even though there's so many notes and they're all over the place, every chord change is still in there. Then he lands it and the band lands with him, and Ellington never sounds quite the same again.
