Description: Box Set. Mingus Takes Manhattan collects together Charles Mingus' run of dates at the world famous Birdland, New York from 1961-1962, released here officially for the first time ever in conjunction with the Mingus Estate. The original reel-to-reel tapes used to record the radio broadcasts were tracked down, cleaned and remastered especially for this release. Previously only issued in bootleg form, the recordings enclosed feature Mingus in the midst of a highly creative spell. Alternating between bass and piano during these sets features a rotating band of heavy hitters including Yusef Lateef, Roland Kirk, Jaki Byard, Booker Ervin, Pepper Adams as well as Mingus mainstays Charles McPherson, Dannie Richmond and others. Located in a basement in the Bronx, these incredibly rare recordings are given their best sonic outing since 1962. At the centre of this package is a 44-page book with a foreword from Christian McBride, a highly informative 15,000 word essay from Brian Priestley and a new interview with Charles McPherson, giving context and inside information to the dates and the time. All of this is illustrated with slick design and rare photographs and ephemera throughout. - Disc 1 -1 * 21st October 1961 - 24th March 19622 Nouroog3 Ecclusiastics4 Hog Callin' Blues5 Take the 'A' Train6 Fables of Faubus7 Eat That Chicken- Disc 2 -1 * 31st March 1962 - 5th May 19622 Monk, Funk or Vice Versa3 Oh Lord, Don't Let Them4 Eat That Chicken5 Reets and I- Disc 3 -1 * 5th May 1962 - 12th May 19622 Monk, Funk or Vice Versa3 Devil Woman4 Eat That Chicken5 Introduction By Symphony Syd6 Peggy's Blue Skylight7 Tijuana Table Dance (Aka Ysabel's Table Dance)8 Eat That Chicken- Disc 4 -1 * 19th October 1962 - 26th October 19622 The Search (I Can't Get Started)3 Monk, Funk or Vice Versa4 Please Don't Come Back from the Moon5 Eat That Chicken6 Monk, Funk or Vice Versa7 O.P8 The Search (I Can't Get Started)IMPORTANT INFO - All orders will ship within 3 business days, with rare exceptions for items being backordered*.My cutoff for shipping is 4pm EST.
