Description:

FÃ¼r das Album â??Pre-Birdâ?, das spÃ¤ter auch eine Zeit lang unter dem Titel â??Mingus Revisitedâ? zirkulierte, hatte Charles Mingus ausschlieÃ?lich Musik aufgenommen, die komponiert worden war, bevor er das erste Mal Charlie Parker gehÃ¶rt hatte. Die Aufnahmen entstanden im Mai 1960 bei Sessions mit zwei Ensembles, die mit Stars gespickt waren: einem bunt schillernden 25-kÃ¶pfigen Orchester und einem wendigeren Tentett. Neben sechs Ã¤lteren Kompositionen von Mingus standen zwei kontrapunktische Arrangements von StÃ¼cken aus der Swing-Ã?ra auf dem Programm. - 180GR. / ACOUSTIC SOUNDS

Vinyl LP pressing. This 1960 session falls historically between the astounding late-1959 work Charles Mingus did for Columbia Records and his slimmed-down pianoless quartet that made the classic Mingus at Antibes. Pre Bird and the Columbia material share some common elements, most obviously the large ensemble. Mingus devoted these sessions to his pre-1940s material and other works from the prebop era, and two of the best-played works are from Ellington's pen.
