Product description

Charles Mingus' "Let My Children Hear Music," released in February 1972 under Legacy/Columbia, is a profound and ambitious work that masterfully blends the rich traditions of jazz and classical music. This album, produced by the renowned Teo Macero, is regarded by Mingus himself as his finest work, a testament to his innovative spirit and artistic vision.

Spanning a diverse range of styles—from hard bop and bebop to free jazz and cool jazz—"Let My Children Hear Music" offers a dynamic and expansive listening experience. The album features a standout track, "The Chill of Death," which includes a poignant recitation by Mingus himself, adding a deeply personal touch to the collection. With a duration of 59 minutes, the album is a rich tapestry of sound, showcasing Mingus' virtuosity and his ability to push the boundaries of musical expression.

The tracklist, which includes pieces like "The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jive Ass Slippers" and "Taurus In The Arena Of Life," reflects Mingus' eclectic influences and his fearless approach to composition. Each track is a testament to his genius, offering listeners a glimpse into the mind of one of jazz's most innovative and influential figures.

"Let My Children Hear Music" is not just an album; it's a deeply personal and expansive work that stands as a cornerstone of Mingus' discography. Whether you're a jazz enthusiast or a music lover seeking something extraordinary, this album is a must-experience, offering a timeless exploration of sound and emotion.

    Significant Jazz Piece, and a Significant Jazz Artist

  • Dutch Version Confirmed

    5 out of 5 stars

    My serial numbers are S 64715-A and S 64715-B, but I'm positive it's the Dutch version.

  • Rich Audio, Great Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    ppfpzabzurpeqOctober 6, 2024United States🇺🇸

    The audio quality is incredibly rich and full-bodied. It's a fantastic pressing. Plus, the liner notes and essay are definitely included, just as advertised.

  • Faulty First, Better Second

    3 out of 5 stars
    zutqjmofvnvaOctober 2, 2024United States🇺🇸

    The initial copy I got had some annoying, distracting noise straight from the package. It was a faulty pressing. Also, there was no enclosure like it said there would be. The second replacement copy, though, is much quieter and did come with the enclosure. I adjusted the rating to reflect both copies I've had.

  • Outstanding Album Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    zadtjel_fevkwuynJune 11, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This is an amazing pressing of a truly outstanding album. Every detail shines through wonderfully, which is crucial since so much is happening all at once. Nothing sounds muddled, everything is perfectly balanced. I was worried about the longer sides at 45 rpm, but after listening to this, I can't imagine it sounding any better. I might try to find an original press in good condition to compare, but this pressing definitely doesn't let me down!

About Charles Mingus

Charles Mingus was a titan of 20th-century American music, renowned for his virtuosity on the upright bass, innovative compositions, and powerful bandleading. Born in 1922, Mingus's career spanned over three decades, during which he collaborated with jazz legends like Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, and Max Roach. His music defied easy categorization, encompassing bebop, hard bop, free jazz, and cool jazz, and often addressed themes of race, gender, and social justice. Mingus's discography is vast and varied, with 51 albums released under his own name and numerous appearances as a sideman. His seminal works, such as "Pithecanthropus Erectus," "Mingus Ah Um," and "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady," showcase his unique voice and enduring influence. Beyond music, Mingus was also a passionate civil rights activist, author, and poet, leaving behind a rich legacy that continues to inspire and challenge audiences today.
