Geostatistics is concerned with the analysis and modeling of spatial variability. It also addresses how quantified spatial variability can be used in optimal spatial interpolation and spatial stochastic simulation. Fields of application include geology, soil science, agronomy, ecology, forestry, hydrology, climatology and geography.
One of the most important composers of jazz, Charles Mingus was also one of jazz's premier bassists and a pioneer in bass technique. The classic recording presented here was recorded in New York, in December of 1954 and features Mingus on bass and piano with Thad Jones (trumpet 1,3) John LaPorta (clarinet, alto sax) Teo Macero (tenor sax, baritone sax) Jackson Wiley (cello 1,3) and Clem DeRosa (drums, tambourine). All selections newly remastered.
The compositions herein are performed by two of the famed Charles Mingus Jazz Workshop groups and they are considered among his best recorded works. These 1954 recordings represent the grass roots from where all the innovative forms and expressions of tomorrows jazz conceived by Mingus really began. From then on, Mingus became the most influential composer and bassist of various generations in jazz history. After its first date, he said about the improvised interplay between every instrument: I feel that it is usually impossible to attempt such delicacies with musicians who do not enjoy the unusual freedom or understand the thought of the leading instrument. Teo Macero, John LaPorta, George Barrow and Mal Waldron, of course, are just as responsible as I am for the final construction.
