It's a classic. My favourite Mingus is Let My Children Hear Music, a later period Mingus album with more of an orchestral/big band feel, it's just brilliant.

Yup. My favorite album ever

It’s a lot of fusion and not really any bebop or much of anything pre 1950. Some Charlie Parker or Take The A Train or something like that?

And if you’re going to do a Mingus song I’d do So Long Eric or Parkeriana from Revenge. Or something from 64 in Europe with the Dolphy/Clifford Jordan/Jaki Bayard band.

i thought about adding louis armstrong- the hot 5's and 7's but i think it's too archaic for a modern listener who is only used to contemporary pop music. that's why i selected a lot of the albums i did, she only likes modern pop music not even rock or hip hop

Does she like jazz? I would think a song that a lot of people have already heard like Take The A Train or It Don’t Mean A Thing might be an easier entry point than Mahavishnu Orchestra, but that’s just me. If she played in the high school band she might already know some pre-1950s jazz.

That’s much more “pop” jazz than modal jazz or fusion.

I believe it'd be for someone who was introduced to jazz through Laufey or whoever and actually wanted to hear more jazz

List is missing a lot of vocal jazz, then. Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday - at Newport would cover a lot of bases.
