<p>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.</p>

Wax Love present a reissue of Charles Mingus's East Coasting, originally released in 1957. Recorded and released in 1957, this may not be Charles Mingus's most often discussed title, but it is a wonderful set featuring five great Mingus originals and is an unpredictable and exploratory album. Featuring his core group at the time, along with the amazing pianist Bill Evans, this is crucial late '50s jazz that explores the outer reaches of bop music.<br>
