I am actually not listening to anything right now, but I am lending an ear to the Eurovision Song Contest.
This is a BIG European event, where the European countries contributes with music written by the countries' composers, performed by national artists supported by local choirs and dancers ... Excuse me folks, I am lying and I am lying a lot.
In Swedish news program aimed at cultural events, the ESC was called " a graveyard for dying musical genres". That is, a rather correct analysis of this mega-spectacle.

When you hear jungle drums in ECS, they are leaving the music scene, as goes for rock mixed with opera ->going out.
There was nothing really to watch yesterday evening and we spent an hour watching the terrible mess from Kiev.
What's worst with the crap, the winner is not singing the best tune, but is the most political correct song.
I should listen to Marillion's Marbles today to clean out my ears.
There are ONE song I heard that really was VERY good,
THIS ONE, and it wasn't even competing.😀

Had to close the bad "modern radio-pop" out today and choose to listen to Marillion's excellent Marbles In The Park.
Also played Anorachnofobia too.

It's funny I don't own a single album by Mingus. I do own a nice jazz compilation double album from Prestige with one of his songs on it, which I consider nigh perfect. The song us "Work Song", it is recorded live in a small venue, and features Mal Waldron on piano, George Barrow on sax, and Eddie Bert on trombone (and some drummer). The song has a wonderful dark feel, I hope it was snowing outside that night. That feeling is enhanced by Waldron's heavy left hand, and the trombone solo makes the song for me. I would love to find the album it came from someday, but I have never found a copy.
Mingus At The Bohemia.
About 10 years ago I started discovering jazz for myself, just by listening, didn't know anything about it or the history. I found I was particularly taken by Monk and Mingus and subsequently found out I had naturally good taste 😉🙂

Work Song is from the live album ' Mingus at the Bohemia ' so it could be the version you have .
