Kal,
Thanks for listening! Mingus was certainly the model for this one - wanted to capture the feeling of loose energy that's so inherent in all his music.
It is me playing trombone...not one of my finer moments, but it's something nonetheless.
As for the "chromatic runs/falls/glisses", some parts at the beginning were improvised with instructions in the part (i.e. "half-valve plunger licks, bluesy/raw" or "Mingus-ish collective improv" ). Before the piano solo it all decays into complete free improv...
Again, thanks for listening!!
