Description
2024 Remaster by Bernie Grundman on 180g Vinyl LP!
Mingusis Joni Mitchell’s 1979 collaboration with jazz titanCharles Mingus, who wrote several songs for the project. Mingus died shortly before the album was complete, and Mitchell dedicated it to him. Four songs by Mingus with lyrics written by Mitchell appeared on the album, including a version of “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat,” Mingus’ tribute to saxophonist Lester Young, and one of his most famous compositions. In the album’s liner notes, Mitchell said she felt fully immersed in jazz for the first time while making the record.“It was as if I had been standing by a river one toe in the water feeling it out and Charlie came by and pushed me in ‘sink or swim’”
