[[Charles Mingus]] had known Dolphy from growing up in Los Angeles,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://downbeat.com/news/detail/eric-dolphy-the-prophet-of-freedom/P1 |title=Eric Dolphy: The 'Prophet' of Freedom |last=Lutz |first=Phillip |website=Downbeat.com |date=December 17, 2018 |access-date=May 21, 2020 |archive-date=June 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200627034858/https://downbeat.com/news/detail/eric-dolphy-the-prophet-of-freedom/P1 |url-status=live }}</ref> and the younger man joined Mingus' Jazz Workshop in 1960, shortly after arriving in New York.<ref>{{cite book | last = Dunkel | first = Mario | title = Aesthetics of Resistance: Charles Mingus and the Civil Rights Movement | publisher =LIT Verlag | year = 2012 | pages=56 }}</ref> He took part in Mingus' big band recording ''[[Pre-Bird]]'' (sometimes re-released as ''Mingus Revisited''), and is featured on "Bemoanable Lady".<ref>{{cite book | editor-first1=Michael |editor-last1=Erlewine | editor-first2=Vladimir |editor-last2=Bogdanov |editor-first3=Chris |editor-last3=Woodstra |editor-first4=Scott |editor-last4=Yanow |title=All Music Guide to Jazz |edition=2nd |publisher=Miller Freeman | year=1996|page=514}}</ref> Later he joined Mingus' working band at the Showplace during 1960 (memorialized in the poem "Mingus at the Showplace" by [[William Matthews (poet)|William Matthews]]),<ref>{{cite book | last = Matthews | first = William | author-link = William Matthews (poet) | title = Time and Money: New Poems | publisher = Houghton Mifflin Company | year = 1995 | pages=5 }}</ref> and appeared on the leader's two Candid label albums, ''[[Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus]]'' and ''[[Mingus (Charles Mingus album)|Mingus]]''.  Dolphy, Mingus said, "was a complete musician. He could fit anywhere. He was a fine lead alto in a big band. He could make it in a classical group. And, of course, he was entirely his own man when he soloed.... He had mastered jazz. And he had mastered all the instruments he played. In fact, he knew more than was supposed to be possible to do on them."<ref name="limelight">{{cite AV media notes |title=[[Last Date (Eric Dolphy album)|Last Date]] |others=Eric Dolphy |type=liner notes |year=1964 |publisher=[[Limelight Records|Limelight]] }}</ref> In the same year, Dolphy took part in the Mingus led Jazz Artist Guild project and its [[Newport Rebels]] recording session.<ref>{{cite book | last = Goodman | first = John | title = Mingus Speaks | publisher = University of California Press | year = 2013 | pages=208 }}</ref> 

Touring in Europe with Mingus in 1961, Dolphy continued on to perform as a solo artist, and he was recorded in Scandinavia and [[Berlin]]. (See ''[[The Berlin Concerts]]'', ''[[The Complete Uppsala Concert]]'', ''[[Eric Dolphy in Europe]]'' Volumes 1, 2, and 3 (1 and 3 were also released as ''Copenhagen Concert''), and ''[[Stockholm Sessions]]''.<ref>{{cite book | editor-first1=Michael |editor-last1=Erlewine | editor-first2=Vladimir |editor-last2=Bogdanov |editor-first3=Chris |editor-last3=Woodstra |editor-first4=Scott |editor-last4=Yanow |title=All Music Guide to Jazz |edition=2nd |publisher=Miller Freeman | year=1996|page=206}}</ref>) He was later among the musicians who worked on ''[[Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus]]'' in 1963, and is featured on "Hora Decubitus".

In early 1964, Dolphy returned to Mingus' working band,<ref name="feather" /> now including [[Jaki Byard]], [[Johnny Coles]], and [[Clifford Jordan]]. This sextet worked at the [[Five Spot]] before playing at [[Cornell University]] and [[The Town Hall (New York City)|Town Hall]] in New York (both were recorded: ''[[Cornell 1964]]'' and ''[[Town Hall Concert]]'') and subsequently touring Europe. The short tour is well-documented on ''[[Revenge! (Charles Mingus album)|Revenge!]]'', ''[[The Great Concert of Charles Mingus]]'', ''[[Mingus in Europe Volume I]]'', and ''[[Mingus in Europe Volume II]]''.
