My Favorite Quintet is a live album by the American bassist, composer and bandleader Charles Mingus, recorded at Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis and released on Mingus's own Jazz Workshop label in 1966.[1]

Reception[edit]

The AllMusic review by Shawn M. Haney stated: "Charles Mingus shines here in proud fashion with the company of his friends to create the sound of the Charles Mingus Quintet. Sweeping, charming, vibrant, percussive -- these are just a few select adjectives used to paint a meaningful picture of this group... Some bits and pieces of the music leave the listener just short of breathless -- a record so teaming with life and spontaneity leaves tingles in one's listening soul. In over 40 minutes of quality jazz, not much is sheer brilliance, though the band's sense of adventure and enthusiasm shows throughout when the melody doesn't".[2]
