Charles Mingus

A Modern Jazz Symposium of Music & Poetry

£29.99

Released: 28th October 2022. 1957, a mammoth year for Mingus. He was on fire, recording several seminal titles including 'The Clown', 'Mingus Three', 'Tijuana Moods', 'East Coasting' and 'A Modern Jazz Symposium of Music and Poetry'. This is the ultimate edition, including all available outtakes and material related to the session, with the recordings having been remastered from the original tape transfers and lacquers cut by Kevin Gray, housed in a gatefold sleeve on reverse-board finish and printed by Pallas. A stunning album which is sometimes overlooked from the vast Mingus catalogue, however it emanates from one of his most creative periods and today stands out as a sublime conceptual recording.
