Description

Charles Mingus – Pithecanthropus Erectus LPNEW. SEALED.Jazz Wax RecordsPithecanthropus Erectus was Mingus’ breakthrough as a leader, the album where he established himself as a composer of boundless imagination and a fresh new voice that, despite his ambitiously modern concepts, was ?rmly grounded in jazz tradition. The tune that gave the album it’s name is one of Mingus’ true masterpieces: a four-movement tone poem depicting man’s evolution from pride and accomplishment to hubris and slavery, and ?nally to ultimate destruction. This was the ?rst album where Mingus tailored his arrangements to the personalities of his musicians, teaching the pieces by ear instead of writing everything out.1 Pithecanthropus Erectus (Charles Mingus) 10:332 A Foggy Day (George u0026amp; Ira Gershwin) 7:463 Love Chant (Charles Mingus) [1955 Version] 8:194 Profile of Jackie (Charles Mingus) 3:075 Love Chant (Charles Mingus) 14:556 A Foggy Day (George u0026amp; Ira Gershwin) [1955 Version] 5:34
