About this product
In-demand Chicago bassist Ethan Philion - praised by bass legend Rufus Reid for his Inchwonderful internal pulse,Inch and by The Washington Post for his Inchwell-honed chops and astounding musicalityInch - has long looked to Charles Mingus as a towering role model. Mingus' highly physical bass technique, his up-front communicative style as a bandleader, his interest in blending composition and improvisation, his pursuit of a unified voice in both small and large group settings, and not least of all his uncompromising antiracist politics and the way they manifest throughout his oeuvre these qualities continue to inspire Philion and so many others in the decades following Mingus' untimely death from ALS in 1979, at age 56. // Now, in Mingus' centennial year of 2022, Philion is proud to present Meditations on Mingus, a powerfully swinging and inventive set of Mingus masterworks as arranged by Philion himself and performed by a stellar 10-piece ensemble. InchMy goal was to put together a program of pieces that speak to current events,Inch Philion states. InchThe themes of the songs on the album - racism, prejudice, identity, economic inequality - are all still relevant to the world today. These compositions ask listeners to reflect on humanity's continued capacity for evil, but as Mingus's psychiatrist Edmund Pollock put it, they are also 'a call for acceptance, respect, love, understanding, fellowship, freedom - a plea to change the evil in man and to end hatred.'Inch

On the Impossible Past - Anniversary Ed. - The Menzingers - Rising punk rock band The Menzingers create a rousing sound featuring crashing power chords, rock steady drumming and anthemic sing-along choruses alongside powerfully poetic everyman lyrics. On The Impossible Past was recorded at Atlas Studios in Chicago with longtime collaborators Matt Allison (Alkaline Trio, The Lawrence Arms) and Justin Yates. While the record retains all the raucous spirit of the band's earlier efforts sonically, it's a monumental step forward. InchI think that 'Gates' is one of the most mature songs on the album,Inch guitarist/vocalist Tom May explains, referencing the tender rock song sung by Barnett that truly transcends genres. InchI hope it surprises people because it's not a straight-forward punk song with gang vocals or anything like that but it still definitely sounds like us.Inch Epitaph
