Composed by Charles Mingus, arranged by Sy Johnson
Originally written for the 1959 John Cassavetes film Shadows, Nostalgia in Times Square is a medium tempo blues but with a unique harmonic structure.
The tune debuted on Mingus' 1959 Jazz Portraits: Mingus in Wonderland album, recorded live at the Nonagon Art Gallery, one of the Tenth Street galleries on the East side of Manhattan.
Personnel: John Handy (alto sax), Booker Ervin (tenor sax), Richard Wyands (piano), Charles Mingus (bass), Dannie Richmond (drums)
