Pithecanthropus Erectus 180gr LP

Jackie McLean (as); J.R. Monterose (ts); Mal Waldron (p); Charlie Mingus (b); Willie Jones (dr)

It was a fairly ordinary quintet that entered the
Audio-Video Studios in New York City on 30 January
1956: one tenor saxophone, one alto saxophone, a
pianist, a drummer and ... you guessed: an
extraordinary man on the double bass! Not just an
instrumentalist, but also an imaginative composer,
wayfarer between all kinds of jazz, arranger and
enfant terrible.
The Suite 'Pithecanthropus Erectus' is ? among
other things ? programme music. Having learned to
walk upright, having achieved alleged superiority
over animals, and having caused devastation, the
destruction of mankind?s natural resources
follows. The composer Mingus gives his fellow
mankind/musicians the widest possible freedom,
which all exploit to the full both in interplay
and in the solos. Bedded down in noise and sound
collages, the piece is the result of an
experimental workshop. The Gershwin classic 'A
Foggy Day' takes on the role of intermediary
between the jazz styles of the 1930s and free
jazz. And in 'Profile Of Jackie' and 'Love Chant'
the arranger calls for his soloists to go to the
very limits of their artistic improvisation.
Charles Mingus was certainly not an easy person to
deal with for his family, friends and fellow
musicians. But that fades into the background when
it comes to such outstanding music. Luckily, we
outsiders can once again enjoy the music of this
genius 60 years after the studio recording, in its
original format.

This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure
analogue components only, from the master tapes
through to the cutting head. All royalties and
mechanical rights have been paid.
