Product Details

The 1964 Monterey Jazz Festival set caught Mingus leading one of his most potent working bands through an extended, combustible performance that stood apart even in a festival known for landmark moments. The original release on Mingus' own label kept it out of mainstream circulation for decades, making it more myth than music for many fans. This reissue finally closes that gap.

Any list of the greatest jazz artists of all time includes the legendary Charles Mingus. Bassist, composer, outspoken jazz pioneer, Mingus was an innovator whose legacy continues to inspire us. Over a 100 years after his birth year, we still celebrate his genius. - This tour de force live performance from the 1964 Monterey Jazz Festival captures Mingus at the top of his form and the height of his powers. Out of print for more than 40 years, this landmark recording was originally released on Mingus' own short-lived mail-order label. It has consistently been the most requested reissue by Mingus fans. - This CD disc set has been remastered by five-time Grammy Award Winning Engineer Michael Graves, with lacquers cut by Jeff Powell. Original gatefold jacket artwork has meticulously restored and reproduced.
