Charlie Mingus - The Complete 1962 Town Hall Concert - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Complete Town Hall Concert is a live album by American bassist, composer and bandleader Charles Mingus recorded at The Town Hall in New York City and first released on the United Artists tag in 1962 as Town Hall Concert. The album was re-released with additional tracks on the Blue Note tag in 1994 as The Complete Town Hall Concert. The concert was originally conceived as a Inchlive workshopInch of newly composed music which would be recorded for by United Artists but rescheduling, lack of rehearsal time, poor sound and interruptions led to the event and subsequent album being considered a disaster.[3] Much of the music intended for the concert/recording was finally realized by conductor Gunther Schuller in a concert in 1989 as Epitaph.
