381:"Folk Forms, No. 1" is built on a rhythmic pattern. According to Mingus, "they had to listen to what I do on the bass. If I changed it, they'd have to go a different way. This is a very flexible work. About the only other guidance I give them is that if I hear them doing something particularly good one night, I remind them of it next time we play the number and suggest they keep it in. But as a whole, it never comes out the same". This song features melodic drum work from Dannie Richmond and sympathetic interplay by Ted Curson and Eric Dolphy. The quartet also performed the tune in

There is no set beat, and yet there's an implicit rhythmic flow, up and down, throughout the work." Explains Dannie Richmond, "Mingus and I feel each other out as we go; but always, when the time comes back into the original beat, we're both always there.

then bass clarinet). Curson solos, followed by Mingus, then Dolphy; however, all four musicians play freely throughout the piece. This recording and another performance on Mingus At
Antibes are particularly famous for the musical conversation between Mingus and Dolphy (on bass clarinet) that takes place before the second statement of the melody.

the beat you didn't have to keep emphasizing it. Moreover, you can speed it up or make it slower, as happens in
Yiddish and Spanish music. Why tie yourself to the same tempo all the time?" The piece features a complex, lyrical melody performed by Ted Curson and Eric Dolphy (first on alto saxophone,
