- – Pithecanthropus Erectus (1956). Mingus used the metaphor of fossilized Java Man (Pithcanthropus erectus) for a tone poem about the rise and eventual fall of humankind. Saxophonists J.R. Monterose and Jackie McLean (who had a famous punch-up with the wily leader) help to evoke musical film noir on “Foggy Day,” before the quieter “Profile of Jackie” and bop-heavy “Love Chant.” A musical defiance of boundaries – and a sign of things to come.

Spending the afternoon trying to decide whether Mingus, Mingus Ah Um, or Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus is the better Mingus album.

I love Max Roach's drumming on Fleurette Africaine (African
Flower) on Duke Ellington's Money Jungle with Charles Mingus. The way the drums talk with the other instruments at the start of the track, especially, like birds calling out to each other in the trees at dawn.

I never thought I would say this about a album, but The Lost Album From Ronnie Scott's is not among the best Mingus albums. The recording quality is amazing, but the performance is not up to the standards of most Mingus albums. Of course, any Mingus fan should still get the record. But I don't think it will be a favorite.

Pithecanthropus Erectus by The Charlie Mingus Jazz Workshop released on the Atlantic label.

This is the 1976 Japanese version.

To think that this music was recorded in 1956 is absolutely mind-blowing !

upon her return to the states, she got into politics in order to ensure equal recognition of black people by the entertainment industry. she carried on making jazz, collaborating with charles mingus & other musical luminaries. hazel only made it to the age of 61, when that bastard, cancer, smote her.

When Charlie speaks of Lester
You know someone great has gone
The sweetest swinging music man
Had a Porkie Pig hat on
A bright star
In a dark age
When the bandstands had a thousand ways
Of refusing a black man admission
Black musician
In those days they put him in an
Underdog position
