Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series)Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records!Hybrid Stereo SACDMastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original analog tape direct to DSD!Mingus taps blues and roots sources for a joyous swinging outing!Recorded in 1959 and released in 1960, Blues & Roots' birth was explained by Mingus in the album's liner notes: "This record is unusual-it presents only one part of my musical world, the blues. A year ago, Nesuhi Ertegün suggested that I record an entire blues album in the style of 'Haitian Fight Song' (in Atlantic LP 1260), because some people, particularly critics, were saying I didn't swing enough. He wanted to give them a barrage of soul music: churchy, blues, swinging, earthy. I thought it over. I was born swinging and clapped my hands in church as a little boy, but I've grown up and I like to do things other than just swing. But blues can do more than just swing. So I agreed."Anyone who had heard "Haitian Fight Song"
