Product description

Charles Mingus' "Tonight at Noon" is a captivating journey through the innovative mind of one of jazz's most influential figures. Released in January 1961 under the Rhino Atlantic label, this album is a testament to Mingus' boundary-pushing spirit, blending elements of hard bop, bebop, free jazz, and cool jazz into a cohesive and exhilarating whole. The album features five tracks, each showcasing Mingus' unique compositional style and his mastery of the double bass.

Recorded over two sessions in 1957 and 1961, "Tonight at Noon" is a sonic exploration that pushes the limits of traditional jazz instrumentation. Mingus' experimentation is evident throughout, with vocal improvisations and unconventional sounds adding layers of depth and intrigue. The album opens with the title track, a powerful and dynamic piece that sets the tone for the rest of the record. "Invisible Lady" follows, a hauntingly beautiful composition that highlights Mingus' ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his music.

"Old Blues for Walt's Torin - #2" is a tribute to Mingus' friend and fellow musician, Walt Dickerson, and features a memorable tenor sax solo by Booker Ervin. "Peggy's Blue Skylight" is a slow, introspective piece that showcases Mingus' skill as a composer and his ability to create evocative, atmospheric music. The album concludes with "Passions of a Woman Loved," a passionate and intense piece that brings the record to a dramatic close.

"Tonight at Noon" is a seminal work in Charles Mingus' discography, showcasing his unique voice and his enduring influence on the world of jazz. Whether you're a longtime fan of Mingus' work or a newcomer to his music, this album is sure to captivate and inspire. With its innovative compositions, exceptional performances, and rich sonic textures, "Tonight at Noon" is a true masterpiece of modern jazz.

This is a 2017 Reissue released as a LP.

  • 1966 Reissue Sounds Fantastic

    5 out of 5 stars
    yerkstfptod82February 6, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Incredible. I'm amazed at how fantastic this 1966 reissue sounds. Since the matrix IDs aren't provided, I'll need to verify if it's a repressing of the original '64. I previously owned a Rhino reissue ... there's just no contest.

  • Mingus Masterpiece on Vinyl

    5 out of 5 stars
    TazophavbuebJanuary 19, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This is an amazing re-release on top-notch 180g vinyl, featuring a faithful reproduction of the original cover art. It comes with a simple paper inner sleeve, but the vinyl itself is pristine—no issues here. The music is absolutely mind-blowing; Mingus pushes the boundaries of traditional jazz instrumentation, even throwing in vocal experiments like shouting and more, all while crafting stunning music. The recording engineer clearly did an incredible job, and the production is outstanding. The pressing is flawless. The sound quality is phenomenal, with each instrument crystal clear and perfectly distinguishable, fantastic dynamics, and a wide soundstage. It's almost perfect. Five stars across the board.

It comes with a simple paper inner sleeve, but the vinyl itself is pristine, with no issues on my copy. The music is absolutely mind-blowing, showcasing Mingus' incredible experimentation with every traditional jazz instrument, even throwing in some vocal experiments like shouting and more. Yet, he never loses sight of creating truly beautiful music. The recording engineer must have worked incredibly hard, and the production is outstanding. The pressing is flawless, with an incredible sound that makes each instrument perfectly distinguishable and clear, offering fantastic dynamics and soundstage. It's almost perfect, so I'm giving it five stars across the board.
