Description:

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Charles Mingus's birth, 8 titles are being reissued on UHQCD, carefully selected from his masterpieces and rare recordings on CD for the first time in Japan! This is the first release on the Impulse label by Mingus, who has made his mark in jazz history as a rare bassist and arranger. Calling it "ethnic folk dance music," Mingus' work is a magnificent world that crosses jazz, classical, and flamenco with a small orchestra that includes an acoustic guitar. (C)RS
