Charles Mingus

A message from the WKCR Board regarding the scheduled Charles Mingus Birthday Broadcast on April 22, 2024.

Happy 102nd birthday, Charles Mingus. I only had the pleasure of recording with Mr. Mingus once. In his memory, I am listening to our collaboration on his album "Three or Four Shades of Blues." You can listen here: ow.ly/3yIh50P1JiR #roncarter #jazz #charlesmingus

The story of a new phase in Mingus’ music – his last phase – begins with the recordings in this boxed set. Featuring all of his 1970s output for Atlantic Records, all configurations of the album include previously unreleased outtakes of “Big Alice,” “The Call” and “Music For Todo Modo.” There is also an extra set of takes of “Big Alice” and “The Call” on an Outtakes disc exclusive to the vinyl format.
