by Charles Mingus

Mingus at the Bohemia cover art

Documenting his ambitious early ensemble at the Café Bohemia, this set represents Mingus actively dismantling standard hard bop formats in search of greater compositional complexity. Featuring early extended suites like 'Pithecanthropus Erectus', the recording marks his definitive emergence as a major, forward-thinking bandleader and writer.
