Charles Mingus - Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus - Pure Pleasure LP

180 Gram Vinyl

Grounded in tradition yet startlingly original, Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus features a small band with Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone and bass clarinet, Ted Curson on trumpet, and Dannie Richmond on drums — among the last recordings Dolphy and Curson made with the bassist, and they go all out. From the New Orleans surge of "Folk Forms No. 1" to the pointed satire of "Original Faubus Fables" and the looser, near-free closing pieces, the album strikes a perfect tension between ensemble jazz and total freedom. Reissued on audiophile vinyl by Pure Pleasure.
