  2. Like most American jazz musicians, this is where Mingus started to get really fuckin' weird. YMMV, but I think some of his coolest work came out of this stretch.
  3. Sometimes I wonder if anyone on here gives a shit about jazz, but I personally do, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ $199.98 + shipping from Rhino, $199.98 Prime on Amazon LOS ANGELES – Charles Mingus is the most important American jazz composer after Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. As part of the ongoing celebration of Mingus’ centennial, Rhino will release a new boxed set that spotlights the creative resurgence that defined the final phase of the legendary bassist and composer’s career. The upcoming collection includes the last seven studio albums Mingus recorded for Atlantic Records between 1973 and his death in 1979 and a selection of outtakes - some previously unreleased. CHANGES: THE COMPLETE 1970s ATLANTIC RECORDINGS will be released on June 23 as a 7-CD set for $79.98, an 8-LP set on 180-gram vinyl for $199.98, digitally for $24.99, and for stream. The set brings together newly remastered versions of all seven studio albums Mingus recorded for Atlantic in the 1970s. The LP and CD versions include Mingus Moves (1973), Changes One (1974), Changes Two (1974), Three or Four Shades of Blues (1977), Cumbia & Jazz Fusion (1977), Me, Myself an Eye (1979), and Something Like a Bird (1979). The collection also features previously unreleased session outtakes. CHANGES: THE COMPLETE 1970s ATLANTIC RECORDINGS comes with an illustrated booklet that delves deep into the final years of Mingus’ music with extensive liner notes by Andrew Homzy, a musician, arranger, jazz scholar, and Grammy® Award Nominee. Mingus Moves opens the collection, recorded in October 1973, leading a new quintet with youthful musicians – trumpeter Ronald Hampton, tenor saxophonist George Adams, and pianist Don Pullen – and old friend Dannie Richmond on drums. One of the songs they recorded was a new Mingus composition, “Opus 3,” which was built on the chords from the composer’s 1956 landmark piece, “Pithecanthropus Erectus.” The band’s lineup shifted slightly in 1974 when Jack Walrath replaced Hampton on trumpet. Soon, Mingus and the group returned to the studio for a three-day session that produced two albums, Changes One and Changes Two. A tribute to Mingus’ dynamic wife, “Sue’s Changes” from Changes One is a vibrant masterpiece. With five themes that move through several different keys, tempos, instrumental textures, and emotional registers, it’s a highwater mark not only in Mingus’ career but also in jazz history. Mingus recorded Three or Four Shades of Blues in 1977 with a rotating cast of stellar musicians. The album includes new versions of two Mingus standards, “Goodbye Porkpie Hat” and “Better Git Hit In Your Soul.” Mingus was commissioned to write the score for an Italian film, Todo Modo, in 1976. Performing with a large ensemble, he recorded two extended compositions that rank high among his best work of the 1970s. Ironically, the music wasn’t used in the film; however, it was released on Cumbia & Jazz Fusion in 1977. Later that year, Mingus was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (aka Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Undeterred, he continued to compose and direct his last recording sessions from a wheelchair. Me, Myself an Eye, and Something Like a Bird were completed before his death in January 1979 - both included in Changes. Five previously unreleased recordings debut in the new collection. The CD version includes three outtakes: “Big Alice,” “The Call,” and “Music for ‘Todo Modo.’” The LP version consists of those plus additional unreleased takes for “Big Alice” and “The Call” that are exclusive to the vinyl set CHANGES: THE COMPLETE 1970s ATLANTIC RECORDINGS Vinyl Track Listing LP 1: Mingus Moves (1973) Side 1 1. “Canon” 2. “Opus 4” 3. “Moves” 4. “Wee” Side 2 1. “Flowers For A Lady” 2. “Newcomer” 3. “Opus 3” LP 2: Changes One (1974) Side 1 1. “Remember Rockefeller At Attica” 2. “Sue’s Changes” Side 2 1. “Devil Blues” 2. “Duke Ellington’s Sound Of Love” LP 3: Changes Two (1974) Side 1 1. “Free Cell Block F, ‘Tis Nazi U.S.A.” 2. “Orange Was The Color Of Her Dress, Then Silk Blue” Side 2 1. “Black Bats And Poles” 2. “Duke Ellington’s Sound Of Love” 3. “For Harry Carney” LP 4: Three Or Four Shades Of Blues (1977) Side 1 1. “Better Git Hit In Your Soul” 2. “Goodbye, Porkpie Hat” 3. “Noddin Ya Head Blues” Side 2 1. “Three Or Four Shades Of Blues” 2. “Nobody Knows (The Bradley I Know)” LP 5: Cumbia & Jazz Fusion (1977) Side 1 1. “Cumbia & Jazz Fusion” Side 2 1. “Music for ‘Todo Modo’” LP 6: Me, Myself An Eye (1979) Side 1 1. “Three Worlds Of Drums” Side 2 1. “Devil Woman” 2. “Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting” 3. “Carolyn ‘Keki’ Mingus” LP 7: Something Like A Bird (1979) Side 1 1. “Something Like A Bird Part 1” Side 2 1. “Something Like A Bird Part 2” 2. “Farewell Farwell” LP 8: Outtakes Side 1 1. “Music For ‘Todo Modo’” (Take 1)* 2. “Big Alice” (Take 1) * 3. “Big Alice” (Take 2) * Side 2 1. “Big Alice” (Take 3) * 2. “Big Alice” (Take 4) 3. “The Call” (Take 1) * 4. “The Call” (Take 2) * Previously Unreleased

  15. $39.98 + shipping @ Cleopatra's store $42.98 Prime @ Amazon For Immediate Release Deluxe Vinyl Reissue Of The 1990 Debut Album From Industrial Supergroup PIGFACE Featuring MARTIN ATKINS, WILLIAM RIEFLIN, TRENT REZNOR, And STEVE ALBINI, Plus Members Of REVOLTING COCKS, THE JESUS LIZARD, SKINNY PUPPY, KMFDM And More! Los Angeles, CA – When drummer Martin Atkins departed the post-punk juggernaut Public Image Ltd. for the last time in 1985, he had no shortage of bands clamoring for his creative input. Throughout the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Atkins found himself collaborating with a host of like minded acts such as NIN, Killing Joke and, most notably, William Rieflin of Revolting Cocks and Ministry. Together, Rieflin and Atkins would team up for their most adventurous project yet, an industrial music supergroup that would unite the talents of their various associates under one banner, Pigface! In 1990, the project debuted with Gub, a sprawling, genre-defying masterpiece that shook the music world and showed just how far Atkins and his associates were willing to push the boundaries of electronic, rock and music in general. The album notably contains the original version of “Suck” featuring Trent Reznor, which Reznor would later re-record for the 1992 NIN EP Broken. With contributions from even more industrial music luminaries including Revolting Cocks' Chris Connelly, The Jesus Lizard's David Yow, Skinny Puppy's Nivek Ogre, Ministry's Paul Barker, KMFDM's En Esch, Steve Albini and more, Gub has more than earned its reputation as one of the most adventurous sound recordings ever made. Reflecting on the album, Atkins shares, “This captures such a liberating time - to assemble such a cast of characters and not care what the results were (But, of course we did) and we delighted in the luxury of legendary Chicago Trax studios and the skills of Steve Albini to capture and communicate it all. Strange to think that Trent’s involvement was actually a cause for discussion - NIN didn’t really mean anything at this point and it was suggested that we could save the $150 round trip airfare from Cleveland if we didn’t involve him. I vetoed the request. Bill Rieflin and I hatched the idea for the project during warmups for the Ministry cage tour and the immense contribution of his partner Francesca Sundsten to the project by creating the iconic artwork cannot be overstated.” Now the album is getting the deluxe reissue treatment courtesy of Cleopatra Records. Not only has Francesca Sundsten’s stunning artwork for the album been fully restored, but now it sports a gatefold image of the original promotional picture for Pigface, cut and pasted together by Chris Connelly. Plus all of the bonus remixes and additional track versions have been packaged together for the first time on one release. The CD comes in a deluxe digipak for CD while the vinyl version is pressed in a variety of colors – your choice of BLACK & WHITE SPLATTER vinyl, BLUE, RED or PURPLE!
