Jazz

Charles Mingus was an American jazz multi-instrumentalist, composer, bandleader, and civil rights activist. Born on April 22, 1922 in Nogales, Arizona, USA, he was a forerunner in double bass technique and pioneered innovative studio techniques such as overdubbing and tape cutting. Mingus also authored the autobiographical novel "Beneath The Underdog". He passed away at the age of 56 on January 5, 1979 in Cuernavaca, Mexico due to Lou Gehrig's disease.

Doxy is a Russian bootleg label that specializes in vinyl reissues. They have also launched the Dig-A-Log Series, which focuses on album reissues on vinyl and includes a bonus CD of the album. In addition, they have introduced a new line called ACV, using clear-native co-polymer for their vinyl process to reduce electrical distortion on records. Doxy's catalog includes CDs and boxsets.

Cobbled from two sessions in 1963, this is one of Charles Mingus's stormiest recordings. From the blues-painted bass moaning that opens II BS, a faster vamp on Haitian Fight Song, to the blazing fire of Hora Decubitis, these tunes come furiously barreling out one after another. Speed and density aside, however, there are also multicolor, lovely tunes like Ellington's Mood Indigo and Mingus's paean to Lester Young (elsewhere dubbed Goodbye Porkpie Hat). More than anything, though, this is a major document thanks to the presence of the big ensemble, harmonized by the late Jaki Byard on piano and fronted by a herd of horn-players, Eric Dolphy and Booker Ervin chief among them.
