Description
THE CHARLIE MINGUS JAZZ WORKSHOP
PITHECANTHROPUS ERECTUS
ATLANTIC RECORDS # 1237
Original United States Mono First Pressing of this hard to find early Mingus album, released in 1956. We purchased it from the original owner, who bought it new. Great thick cardboard jacket and heavy weight record. The record is on the black and silver Deep Groove Atlantic label which reads “LONG PLAYING UNBREAKABLE” at the bottom. The Atlantic Records address on the back of the cover is “157 West 57th Street, New York 19, New York”.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave it a maximum four-star rating and added it to its core collection, describing it as "One of the truly great modern jazz albums".[4] In the same review, "the all-in ensemble work" in parts of the first track, "Pithecanthropus Erectus", is described as being "absolutely crucial to the development of free collective improvisation in the following decade".
