Charles Mingus - Pithecanthropus Erectus - Analogue Productions SACD

Hybrid Mono SACD, Atlantic 75 Series

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 Hybrid SACD is part of the Atlantic 75th Anniversary Series.
