• Mingus cut this album for Atlantic in 1959 with Nesuhi Ertegun producing. The performances are ragged at the edges but sublimely energised. It's a high watermark still pursued by groups in the free music sphere.

• Charles Mingus, bass and leader; Jackie Maclean/John Handy, alto sax; Booker Ervin, tenor sax; Pepper Adams, baritone sax; Jimmy Knepper/Willie Dennis, trombone; Horace Parlon/Mal Waldron, piano; Dannie Richmond, drums

• Limited edition 180 g vinyl – super fidelity audiophile pressing
