“Master by Van Gelder” What a very pleasant and unexpected surprise! Mingus’s label-hopping and arguments with record companies over artistic freedom meant he rarely if ever found his way to the Van Gelder Studios, and therefore it’s a real treat to hear the Candid Sessions mastered by THE master and not EMI’s inaccurately named Ron McMaster, whose engineering I have never rated..
Bassist/leader Charles Mingus cut some of his most exciting and rewarding recordings for Candid in 1960 and this superb four-LP set (which unfortunately is a limited edition) contains all of the music except for a couple of alternate takes that showed up later on. Five selections feature the brilliant piano-less quartet of Eric Dolphy (on alto, bass clarinet, and flute), trumpeter Ted Curson, Mingus, and drummer Dannie Richmond, and these are highlighted by the bass clarinet-bass conversation on "What Love" and the interplay between the four musicians on the very memorable "Folk Forms No. 1." Other musicians are added to six other selections (including the 19-minute jam "MDM") and five other numbers feature trumpeter Roy Eldridge who is teamed with altoist Dolphy on three of the songs; those pieces originally appeared on the Newport Rebels' LP. This is a highly recommended set. 526 (GS 6.6.6 (526))
