Atlantic 75 Historic Reissue Series from Analogue Productions!
Pithecanthropus Erectus established Charles Mingus as a composer of boundless imagination and a fresh new voice in jazz that, despite his ambitiously modern concepts, was firmly grounded in jazz tradition.
Mingus truly discovered himself after mastering the vocabularies of bop and swing, and with Pithecanthropus Erectus he began seeking new ways to increase the evocative power of the art form and challenge his musicians (who here include altoist Jackie McLean and pianist Mal Waldron) to work outside of convention.
