Description
The Jazz Experiments Of Charles Mingus is a fairly obscure collaboration between Mingus and John LaPorta that contains both modern classical and cool jazz compositions plus Mingus piano debut. This six-piece set is highlighted by fresh arrangements of What Is This Thing Called Love and Stormy Weather. Recorded in 1954 for Period Records, the sessions were originally issued on two 10 records, titled Jazzical Moods. Bethlehem then acquired the material and repackaged and remastered it as this 12 record.
Musicians:
Charles Mingus, bass & piano
John LaPorta, clarinet & alto saxophone
