I stumbled across this clip of Charles Mingus and Dannie Richmond on YouTube. Mingus still sounds astonishing.

Thanks dave!
The drummer's no slouch either.
Amazing timing all round. Musical highlight of the day.
Hilarious end to the clip too... :-D

Mingus and Dannie were the rhythm section to beat for decades.
