Charles Mingus "The Jazz Experiments Of Charlie Mingus" 1957

Originally released on two 10" records called Jazzical Moods, The Jazz Experiments of Charles Mingus makes its first appearance in CD...
...These 1954 Period Records sessions include the work of Thad Jones on trumpet and John LaPorta on clarinet and alto sax, combine old and new forms of classical and jazz for a cool jazz sound. Tracks like "Minor Intrusion" and "Thrice Upon a Time" demonstrate the synergy between Mingus and his players, and display his compositional skills. - Review by Heather Phares

First Kirk and now Mingus! Along with Sun Ra and Coltrane they formed the nucleus of American art music in the 20th century. RYP, thanks for sharing today's album -- it's something of an obscurity.
