MINGUS AT BOHEMIA

Seminal early work from Charles Mingus -- a session that really shows him beginning to work in tightly arranged, deeply resonant styles -- pushing much more deeply towards the brilliance of the late 50s! The set's recorded with a great lineup that includes Mal Waldron, Max Roach, and the enigmatic George Barrow on tenor -- and includes a fantastic reading of 'Percussion Discussion', played here by Roach and Mingus as a drum and bass duet (as opposed to Roach solo, as on a later version.) Also features the brilliant 'All The Things You C-Sharp', a pivotal track in the Mingus book, and one of our favorites ever by him -- plus 'Septemberly', 'Work Song', and 'Jump Monk'. ?Recorded live at Cafe Bohemia, New York, New York on December 23, 1955. Originally released on Debut (123).?Track Listing? 1. Jump Monk ? 2. Serenade in Blue'? 3. Percussion Discussion ? 4. Work Song ? 5. Septemberly ? 6. All the Things You C#
