About this product
The music Charles Mingus and his group recorded during his landmark 1960 sessions for Candid Records produced three of the most revered jazz albums of the era. INCARNATIONS is a new masterpiece thoughtfully assembled from rare and unreleased material from those sessions that stands proudly in the Mingus canon of masterworks. All but one of the tracks here are from the November 11th, 1960 sessions Mingus and producer Nate Hentoff put together. The date was split into two halves one a pure Mingus-led date, featuring a six-piece band that expanded into an octet for two additional tunes, and another, a partial reunion of a collective that had assembled in opposition against George Wein's Newport Jazz Festival that past July. (That collective, calling themselves The Jazz Artist Guild, would the album Newport Rebels, on Candid in 1961.) Of special note here is the one track recorded during the Mingus October 20th 1960 sessions. It is a previously unreleased track titled InchAll The Things You Are (All.)Inch Found on a tape that contained material from both of these fall 1960 dates, the piece has it's roots in an Art Tatum rendition of InchAll the Things You Are,Inch which Mingus had recorded before in various settings. Featuring Booker Ervin, Eric Dolphy, Charles McPherson, Ted Curson Lonnie Hillyer, Roy Eldridge, Jimmy Knepper, Britt Woodman, Tommy Flanagan, Paul Bley, Dannie Richmond and Jo Jones. With audio restored and remastered by Bernie Grundman, and liner notes by Pitchfork and New York Times contributor Hank Shteamer, this album is a must have for any Mingus fan. A1. Bugs (Take 3) A2.

![Matthew Shipp - New Concepts in Piano Trio Jazz - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9a2f1750-633c-4210-9864-2a50944a2985.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
2024 . This group evolves in leaps and bounds. You've never heard a jazz piano trio sound like this album - not even this band on it's previous album, the much-praised World Construct. That said, there is a through line from the first Matthew Shipp Trio album, 1990's Circular Temple (ESPDISK 4082CD, 2023 reissue) to New Concepts in Piano Trio Jazz. Says Shipp, InchYes, we went there with that type of title this time. To anyone who thought the trio had reached it's apotheosis on World Construct, you are in for a surprise - this is light years ahead of World Construct. Of course each CD is it's own world and valuable for that, but I am in complete and utter shock at what I am listening to. New Concepts in Piano Trio Jazz sounds completely thoroughly composed and yet completely spontaneously improvised at the same time. This is a major album in jazz history. Newman Taylor Baker is one of the most profound percussionists ever. Michael Bisio sounds like God's angel on this album. He has dedicated himself to working in my vision for years now and I think this might be the ultimate of how we can read each other and hook up. This is one of the greatest trio albums ever. While creating a whole new cosmos we manage to escape every cliché that exists in jazz and in avant jazz. This really might be the last trio CD because it really cannot get better than this.Inch

CHARLES MINGUS / MINGUS At the time of this recording, Mingus had been working regularly with the piano-less quartet of Eric Dolphy, Ted Curson and Dannie Richmond. The same group featured on the 1960 Candid , Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus. The Mingus album, also recorded that year, features one track, InchStormy Weather,Inch recorded with that same quartet, and two tracks recorded with a larger group featuring piano and additional horns. Of note, InchMDM (Monk Duke & Me)Inch consumes the majority of this album. The piece consists of three intertwining themes - Duke Ellington's InchMain StemInch, Thelonious Monk's InchStraight, No ChaserInch, and Mingus' InchFifty First Street Blues.Inch Released in 1961, and recorded in the fall of 1960 by Candid A&R and Producer Nate Hentoff at the Nola Penthouse Sound Studios. The LP includes extraordinary liner notes written by Hentoff, giving a context and insight that adds to the experience of hearing these magnificent performances.
