| | Charles Mingus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | At the time of his death, Mingus had been recording an album with singer Joni Mitchell, which included vocal versions of some of his songs (including "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat") among Mitchell originals and short, spoken word duets and home recordings of Mitchell and Mingus. |
 | | Of all his works, his elegant elegy for Lester Young, "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" (from Mingus Ah Um) has probably had the most recordings. |
 | | Besides recordings from the expected jazz artists, the song has also been recorded by musicians as disparate as Jeff Beck, Eugene Chadbourne, and Bert Jansch and John Renbourn with and without Pentangle. |
