Charles Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music - Pure Pleasure LP

180 Gram Vinyl, Pressed at Pallas

Charles Mingus considered Let My Children Hear Music the finest album of his career. Recorded in 1971 with a sizable, well-rehearsed orchestra and produced by Teo Macero, it gathers pieces that had been brewing for years — from the irresistible swing of "The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jiveass Slippers" to "Adagio Ma Non Troppo," built from a 1964 Mingus piano improvisation, and the holy-roller fervor of "Hobo Ho." A towering achievement and a must for any serious jazz fan. Reissued on audiophile vinyl by Pure Pleasure.
