![]() The composer and bass player Charles Mingus recorded East Coasting for Bethlehem in 1957, in between such classics as Tijuana Moods (RCA) and Mingus Ah Um (Columbia). In addition to featuring an early version of "Celia," along with some numbers he never recorded again, East Coasting is notable for the presence of pianist Bill Evans, who briefly worked for Mingus before joining Miles Davis for the landmark Kind Of Blue. ![]() Japanese Blu-Spec CD pressing of this classic album.

Sony. 2009. ![]() Mingus at Antibes by Charles Mingus ![]() In 1964 bassist/bandleader Charles Mingus had the best band in his career, which included Eric Dolphy, Clifford Jordan, Jaki Byard, and Dannie Richmond. A sensational live performance in Germany, released courtesy of the Charles Mingus estate. ![]() No Description Available. ![]() For years, tapes of Charles Mingus's concerts have been pressed into albums and CDs and sold without permission from his estate or royalties to it. Sue Mingus has made a habit of grabbing these bootleg recordings out of stores, marching out without paying and then daring the store to create an incident by arresting her. Now she has come up with an even better idea, a record label called Revenge! which will issue the pirated material in an official form. The first release is from the much-bootlegged April 18, 1964, concert by the Mingus Quintet in Paris. The two-CD set includes six of Mingus's most famous compositions in extended arrangements that include a 25-minute version of "Fables of Faubus" and a 28-minute version of "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," with lengthy solos to match. —Geoffrey Himes ![]() Japanese 24 Bit/96KHz remastered reissue of 1963 album originally issued on Impulse!, packaged in a limited edition miniature gatefold LP sleeve. 2001. ![]() This CD is an out of print collectible!It is the 1999 Rhino release.
