This Verve Essentials Series edition revisits one of his most accessible yet uncompromising statements, where familiar themes are re-orchestrated with fresh bite and urgency.\n\nRecorded in the early 1960s with a powerhouse ensemble, the album reframes earlier Mingus compositions like “Haitian Fight Song” and “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat” under new titles and arrangements. Instead of simple remakes, you get expanded canvases: dense brass voicings, sudden tempo pivots, and solos that sound like arguments and prayers all at once. The writing balances raw blues feeling with almost symphonic detail, making it a perfect entry point for new listeners and a deep dive for longtime fans.\n\nFor a vinyl collector, this edition offers more than nostalgia: it’s a document of jazz in upheaval, standing between the fading big-band era and the rise of the avant-garde. If you want a record that rewards close listening but still swings hard from the first needle drop, this is a cornerstone Mingus title you’ll keep returning to.","A fierce, orchestral Mingus statement—blues, fire, and swing reimagined with breathtaking intensity.","2026-11-06 06:03:51",4509,null,false,"instock",true,1,"CRCHAH23867","500","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F11\u002FCharles-Mingus-Mingus-Mingus-Mingus-Mingus-Mingus.webp",[22],{"id":23,"src":20,"alt":5,"sizes":13},629161,[],[26],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29},1727,"Brand New Vinyls","brand-new-vinyls",[],[32,37,42,47,52,57,61],{"id":33,"name":34,"options":35},3088,"Artist",[36],"Charles Mingus",{"id":38,"name":39,"options":40},10611,"Genre",[41],"Jazz",{"id":43,"name":44,"options":45},10635,"Mood",[46],"Experimental",{"id":48,"name":49,"options":50},1796,"No Of Records",[51],"1",{"id":53,"name":54,"options":55},1339,"Record Condition",[56],"M",{"id":58,"name":59,"options":60},1338,"Sleeve Condition",[56],{"id":62,"name":63,"options":64},264,"Speed",[65],"33",[],[68],{"id":69,"name":36,"slug":70,"url":71,"bio":72,"long_bio":73,"product_count":74,"formats":75,"genres":76,"languages":77,"aliases":78,"image":80,"excerpt":72},163314,"charles-mingus","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fartists\u002Fcharles-mingus\u002F","Charles Mingus was a towering figure in mid-century American jazz, celebrated as a bassist, composer, bandleader and pianist whose daring fusion of hard bop, avant‑garde, gospel, and classical elements gave rise to landmark albums like Mingus Ah Um and The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady. His work remains deeply influential, his compositions such as “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat” and “Pithecanthropus Erectus” enduring as jazz standards.","Charles Mingus was born in Nogales, Arizona in 1922 and largely raised in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. His early musical life was deeply rooted in church music thanks to a strict home environment, but he absorbed jazz from the radio—most notably Duke Ellington. He began on trombone and cello before committing to the double bass in his teens, studying formally with a symphony bassist for five years, while also starting to compose advanced works akin to Third Stream pieces in his youth.\n\nAfter early gigs with Kid Ory, Barney Bigard, and Louis Armstrong in the 1940s, Mingus moved to New York by the early 1950s. There he joined Lionel Hampton and Red Norvo before co‑founding Debut Records and establishing the Jazz Composer’s Workshop—later known as the Jazz Workshop—so that musicians could explore original work outside of commercial constraints. His leadership in these ensembles nurtured a host of gifted improvisers.\n\nMingus’s musical style was a bold amalgam: hard bop energy, avant‑garde freedom, bluesy gospel fervor, classical compositional approaches, and political commentary. Standout albums from his career include Pithecanthropus Erectus, Mingus Ah Um—with pieces like the elegiac “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat” and the protest piece “Fables of Faubus”—and the sprawling orchestral suite The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, widely regarded as one of jazz’s orchestral masterpieces. He continued to experiment through the 1960s and ’70s with works such as Cumbia and Jazz Fusion and Let My Children Hear Music.\n\nAccolades followed Mingus in life and posthumously: a Grammy Hall of Fame induction for Mingus Dynasty, recognition of his albums among the greatest ever recorded, grants from the NEA, Smithsonian, and Guggenheim Foundation, and a Slee Chair in Music at SUNY Buffalo. He also published his spirited autobiography, Beneath the Underdog, in 1971.\n\nEven after his death in 1979 from ALS, Mingus’s legacy endures. His music continues to be performed by ensembles like the Mingus Big Band, and his adventurous blending of genres has influenced countless jazz, classical, and contemporary musicians. His fiercely original voice, both as a bassist and composer, has secured his place as one of the most significant American musical figures of the twentieth century.",47,[],[],[],[36,79],"Mingus, Charles","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F03\u002Fartist-charles-mingus.webp",{"subject":82,"strategy":83,"fallback_used":14,"items":84},"product:629162","profile",[85,95,102,110,118,126,134,142],{"product_id":86,"name":87,"slug":88,"price":89,"image":90,"stock_status":15,"score":91,"reason":92},"98948","Charles Mingus – Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus (Acoustic Sounds Series) - Brand New - Vinyl LP Record (Quick Ship)","charles-mingus-mingus-mingus-mingus-mingus-mingus-acoustic-sounds-series","8249","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F04\u002FCharles-Mingus-Mingus-Mingus-Mingus-Mingus-Mingus-1.jpg",0.9045,{"code":93,"text":94},"similar","Similar to this record",{"product_id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"price":89,"image":99,"stock_status":15,"score":100,"reason":101},"98954","Thelonious Monk Quartet – Monk’s Dream (Impex) - Brand New - Vinyl LP Record (Quick Ship)","thelonious-monk-quartet-monks-dream-impex","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F04\u002FThelonious-Monk-Quartet-Monks-Dream-1.jpg",0.7942,{"code":93,"text":94},{"product_id":103,"name":104,"slug":105,"price":106,"image":107,"stock_status":15,"score":108,"reason":109},"261142","Sonny Rollins – Brass\u002FTrio - Brand New - Vinyl LP Record (Quick Ship)","sonny-rollins-brass-trio","5059","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F04\u002FAVER_216301__197097__01122026041514-9997.jpg",0.79,{"code":93,"text":94},{"product_id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"price":114,"image":115,"stock_status":15,"score":116,"reason":117},"126398","Grachan Moncur III – Evolution (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series) - Brand New - Vinyl LP Record (Quick Ship)","grachan-moncur-iii-evolution-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series","5389","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F04\u002FGrachan-Moncur-III-Evolution-1.jpg",0.7926,{"code":93,"text":94},{"product_id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"price":122,"image":123,"stock_status":15,"score":124,"reason":125},"102139","Four Trombones Vol. 1 - Four Trombones*, J.J.
