MINGUS THREE: DELUXE EDITION will be available on April 22 – Mingus’ 100th birthday
Charles Mingus - Mingus Three
Recorded in one day, with pianist Hampton Hawes, a childhood friend of Mingus who’d been in bands with Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon, and drummer Dannie Richmond, whose association with the bassist lasted over three decades, and originally released in 1957 on the Jubilee label, this remastered and expanded anniversary edition includes a whole extra disc of never-released outtakes—only discovered by chance in the London Parlophone vaults—a miraculous find in jazz history.
MINGUS THREE: DELUXE EDITION will be available on April 22 – Mingus’ 100th birthday – as a 180-gram double-LP set and as a double-CD set via RHINO/Parlophone. The music will also be available from digital and streaming services on the same day.
