Charles Mingus – Incarnations (RSDBF 2023)

The music Charles Mingus and his group (including the legendary Eric Dolphy) recorded during his landmark 1960 sessions for Candid Records-the first in which he was given total creative freedom-produced three of the most revered jazz albums of the era. INCARNATIONS is the fourth great Mingus album to emerge from those historic sessions: a new masterpiece thoughtfully assembled from rare and unreleased material that stands proudly in the Mingus canon of masterworks. Presented in a heavyweight sleeve with period-perfect artwork, liner notes by Pitchfork and Rolling Stone contributor Hank Shteamer, audio restored and remastered by Bernie Grundman, and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, INCARNATIONS is the Mingus masterpiece nobody knew they were missing. Includes Newly Discovered Previously Unreleased Recording. Remastered & Vinyl Cut By Bernie Grundman. Pressed on 180gram Vinyl. Tracks Back On Vinyl For The First Time In Over 40 Years
