Chazz! (aka Mingus At The Bohemia)
LP (Item 468391) Debut/Fantasy, Mid 50s — Condition: Near Mint-
Related searches
Seminal early work from Charles Mingus – a session that really shows him beginning to work in tightly arranged, deeply resonant styles – pushing much more deeply towards the brilliance of the late 50s! The set was originally issued on Debut, and was recorded with a great lineup that includes Mal Waldron and the enigmatic George Barrow on tenor. There's a fantastic reading of "Percussion Discussion", played here by Mingus and Max Roach (though the drummer on the rest of the set is Willie Jones) as a drum and bass duet (as opposed to Roach solo, as on a later version.) Also featured are the brilliant "All The Things You Are In C-Sharp", a pivotal track in the Mingus book, and one of our favorites ever by him – plus "Septemberly", "Work Song", and "Jump Monk". © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Early 70s Japanese Toshiba pressing on clear maroon vinyl. Cover has a mostly split spine, but looks great otherwise.)
Near Mint - (minus)
- Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
- Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
- One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
- May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
- May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
- Possible minor surface noise when played.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Three Or Four Shades Of BluesAtlantic, 1977. Near Mint-
The three or four shades of the blues here are all pretty darn deep – as Charles Mingus is returning to the soulful gospel-influenced mode he swung big in the early 60s!

Charles Mingus at Carnegie Hall – but playing here with relaxed and intimate feel that's not what you might expect from the staid setting!

Let My Children Hear MusicColumbia, 1973. Near Mint-
One of the last great records by Charles Mingus – a set of extremely compelling original compositions, played by a fresh group of younger players, plus a few older masters!

ThesaurusAtlantic, 1968. Near Mint-
An unusual session from the great Clare Fischer – although probably his best-known record as well!

Charlie Parker With Strings – Bird On Verve Vol 1Verve, Early 50s. Sealed
We can't decide whether we like Bird better in the small seminal bop quintets he led, or blowing fiery solos over larger arrangements buoyed by strings. Fortunately these sets, compiled from 10" LPs bring together some of both, though as you might guess from the title, they do lean heavily ... LP, Vinyl record album

Mellow soul, sweeping strings, and sweet electric keys – a stone 70s classic from Norman Feels – one of the greatest soul singers you've never heard before!
