Charles Mingus - Pithecanthropus Erectus - Analogue Productions 45rpm LP

180-Gram Mono 45 RPM Double LP, Tip-On Gatefold Jacket

Cut in 1956, Pithecanthropus Erectus was Charles Mingus' first date for Atlantic and a breakthrough that established him as a composer of boundless imagination, firmly grounded in jazz tradition yet reaching toward bold new forms. The 10-minute title track and the lovely "Profile of Jackie" rank among the bassist's finest recordings. Personnel: Charles Mingus (bass), Jackie McLean (alto saxophone), J.R. Monterose (tenor saxophone), Mal Waldron (piano), and Willie Jones (drums). This Analogue Productions reissue is part of the Atlantic 75th Anniversary Series.
