Of course hearing those Mingus tracks made me want to listen to the Absolute Beginners soundtrack which of course isn't fully available via streaming or even for digital purchase... The movie was a bit of mess but what a soundtrack...
Absolute Beginners is one of Bowie's finest songs and most likely to make me get something in my eye... Also, songs from Sade, Ray Davies, The Style Council, Jerry Dammers and two amazing Gil Evans arrangements of two of Mingus's finest...
and interestingly enough there is a lyric version of the Miles Davis's "So What" done by Smiley Culture on the soundtrack
