In 1960, celebrated jazz critic Nat Hentoff called Charles Mingus to record a number of sessions for the new Candid label. Mingus was given absolute freedom on these recordings.
The results of the first date were issued on the celebrated ‘Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus’, which appears here in its entirety along with two additional tracks that complete the session.
The band consists of a piano-less quartet with trumpeter Ted Curson, alto saxophonist Eric Dolphy (who also plays bass clarinet on one track), Mingus on bass and veteran Mingus drummer Dannie Richmond.
Total Time : 68:56 mins. - 6 tracks - includes 16-page booklet.
“He and Richmond react beautifully together throughout and the interaction of the whole group is one of the salient features of the album. Recommended as an important document of the current scene.” (Ira Gitler).
