Charles Mingus/Rarities 1946-1977

Something like this still existed, which shocked collectors! Following the 4-disc set, which also featured Eric Dolphy and packed plenty of rare recordings by John Coltrane, most of which appeared for the first time, the second volume of the Giant Star Rare Sound Source Series includes plenty of ultra-rare recordings by Charles Mingus. A packed 2-disc set! Many sound sources appear for the first time! ! ! This work begins with a 1946 Darby Hicks Band song that is a valuable record in which the young Mingus participated, and which can only be heard on the Mega Rare SP edition that is still impossible to obtain. So What! The more than 30-minute making session for “The Crown” in a New York studio in 1957, comparable to the album “Making of a Kind of Blue,” and the 1969 Mingus recording with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. A rare live show where Mingus was invited to play “The Crown”, outtakes of Mingus’s solo piano from his final years in 1977, and Mingus’ almost last bass performance in Uruguay in 1977. The ultimate monster item to be sent at the end of the year is now in stock, a 2-disc set that includes all 26 tracks, including interviews, recorded over 2 and a half hours on the label’s own carefully mastered high-quality soundboard. ! ! ! DISC-1 includes two songs by the Darby Hicks Band in 1946, three songs by the Lionel Hampton Orchestra in November 1947, and a 1951 song by the Billy Taylor Trio that included Mingus and Marquis Foster. Six songs were recorded live at Boston Storyville on November 6, 1957, and over 30 minutes of “The Crown” session at an audio video studio in New York on February 13, 1957. . This is a recording of takes 24-47 from the master tapes leaked by the people involved, and includes vivid conversations between Mingus and the members, who play and then stop, Mingus gives instructions, then start playing again and repeat until they are satisfied. It is a very interesting content that vividly conveys the tension of the actual recording. Of course, this is also from the master tape, with the highest quality sound! DISC-2 begins with three songs performed at Café Bohemia in New York in 1957 by Mingus, Jackie McLean, Donald Byrd, Bill Hardman, Clarence Shaw, Phineas Newborn, Danny Richmond, and an unknown guitarist. Two songs by Mingus, Richmond, Jimmy Owens, Julius Watkins, Howard Johnson, Charles McPherson and others at Village Gate, New York, September 10, 1965, Mingus joins in, led by an introduction by Duke Ellington. The Ellington Orchestra performed Mingus’s “The Crown” on September 29, 1969, a rare live performance at the University of California at Berkeley, featuring an interview with Mingus, Mingus, Roland Kirk, and Arch Shepp. , a rare live performance by Roy Haynes on The Ed Sullivan Show, January 24, 1971, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, 1976, piano at Record Plant Studios, New York, May 1, 1977・Solo outtakes, guitar & bass outtakes, and 3 other songs, a wild, earthy song by Mingus, Ricky Ford, Jack Walras, Robert Neroms, and Danny Richmond on May 31, 1977 in Montevideo, Uruguay. This is a parade of precious tracks, with no hesitation, including “Nodin’ Ya Head Blues,” where you can hear Mingus’s final bass performance that seems to reverberate from the bottom! ! !
