Charles Mingus — Mingus At Monterey 2LP

Any list of the greatest jazz artists of all time includes the legendary Charles Mingus. Bassist, composer, outspoken jazz pioneer, Mingus was an innovator whose legacy continues to inspire us. Over 100 years after his birth year, we still celebrate his genius. In conjunction with the Charles Mingus Estate, Candid Records is proud to present Mingus At Monterey for official reissue.

This tour de force live performance from the 1964 Monterey Jazz Festival captures Mingus at the top of his form and the height of his powers. Out of print for more than 40 years, this landmark recording was originally released on Mingus' own short-lived mail-order label. It has consistently been the most requested reissue by Mingus fans.

This 2LP set has been remastered by five-time Grammy Award Winning Engineer Michael Graves, with lacquers cut by Jeff Powell, and pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Original gatefold jacket artwork has been meticulously restored and reproduced.
