Born on a  military base in Nogales, Arizona in 1922 and raised in Watts, California, his earliest musical influences came from the church—choir and group singing—and from “hearing Duke  Ellington over the radio when [he] was eight years old.” His early professional experience,  in the 40s, found him touring with bands like Louis Armstrong, Kid Ory and Lionel Hampton.  Mingus’ career has spanned three-decades and he collaborated with other jazz legends such  as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Herbie Hancock.  Mingus’ compositions retain the hot and soulful feel of hard bop, drawing heavily from black  gospel music and blues, while sometimes containing elements of Third Stream, free jazz,  and classical music. Because of his brilliant writing for midsize ensembles, and his catering  to and emphasizing the strengths of the musicians in his groups, Mingus is often considered  the heir of Duke Ellington. From the 1960s until his death in 1979 at age 56, Mingus remained  in the forefront of American music. When asked to comment on his accomplishments,  Mingus said that his abilities as a bassist were the result of hard work but that his talent  for composition came from God. He died in Mexico on January 5, 1979, and his wife, Sue  Graham Mingus, scattered his ashes in the Ganges River in India. Both New York City and  Washington, D.C. honored him posthumously with a “Charles Mingus Day.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally recorded on January 19, 1974, Mingus At Carnegie Hall was released as  a 1LP that only featured 2 long tracks (“C Jam Blues” and “Perdido”) from the concert; one  track per LP side, and features Jon Faddis, Charles McPherson, John Handy, George Adams,  Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Hamiet Bluiett, Don Pullen, and Dannie Richmond. Yet the original  concert in January of ‘74 included 2 hours of performances, but nearly 70+ minutes were  left on the cutting room floor. With jazz music on the decline in the US in the 1970s, Atlantic  Records was probably concerned about releasing a 3LP set at a higher price point that only  the most ardent fans would purchase at the time. Well, after 47 years and in honor of this  year’s Black Music Month, Run Out Groove has righted the course of this ship, issuing the complete 1974 Mingus At Carnegie Hall album with over 72 minutes of unreleased  material and putting the original running order of the concert in correct sequence. The deluxe 3LP set features never-before-seen photos taken by original photographer Gal Costa  and new liner notes by Jazz historian and producer, Michael Cuscuna.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e72 minutes of unreleased  material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFeatures never-before-seen photos taken by original photographer Gal Costa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eNew liner notes by Jazz historian and producer, Michael Cuscuna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e ROGV-134 -Artist-Charles Mingus\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 7\/8\/21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 3LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Charles Mingus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42271849349201,"sku":"O2LNTX-NJM0-JM","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/charles-mingus-mingus-at-carnegie-hall-deluxe-edition_4gOZm.jpg?v=1762521267","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/charles-mingus-mingus-at-carnegie-hall-deluxe-edition-vinyl","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
