New - Mingus, Charles - Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus (Acoustic Sound Series) - LP

All-Analog 180g Vinyl LP of Charles Mingus' Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Remastered from the Original Analog Tapes, Pressed at QRP, and Housed in Stoughton Gatefold Jacket This 1963 recording is a major showcase for the multi-talented Charles Mingus as a bassist, pianist, and writer. From the blues-painted bass moaning that opens "II BS," to the blazing fire of "Hora Decubitis," these tunes come furiously barreling out one after another. Speed and density aside, however, there are also multi-color, lovely tunes like Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo" and Mingus' paean to Lester Young. More than anything, though, Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus is a major document due to the presence of two alternating big ensembles, anchored by Jaki Byard on piano and fronted by a herd of horn players, Eric Dolphy and Booker Ervin chief among them. This all-analog 180g vinyl LP reissue was mastered from the original analog tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound, pressed at QRP, and comes housed in a Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket.
