And when Charles Mingus, in the middle of his first stint with Atlantic Records, took to the stage for a series of radio broadcasts in the early 1960s, he was ready to further both the club's legacy and his own place within the jazz firmament. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing many of the compositions that made up his 1962 album Oh Yeah as a jumping-off point (Ecclusiastics, Oh Lord Don't Let Them Drop That Atomic Bomb On Me, Eat That Chicken), the bassist and composer redrew the boundaries of his art in typically uncompromising fashion. Whether paying idiosyncratic tribute to his Birdland forebears through a deconstruction of Duke Ellington's Take The 'A' Train or on the Mingus original Monk, Funk Or Vice Versa, or turning his own compositions inside out with the help of some of the finest instrumentalists of the era (pianist Jaki Byard and saxophonist Charles McPherson are on regular backup duty), the bassist and composer stretches beyond the limitations of the recording studio in order to deliver some of the most exciting live performances the NYC jazz scene had ever witnessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2CD format\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue Cee (21 October, 1961)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDevil Woman (5 May, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEcclusiastics (21 October, 1961)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEat That Chicken (5 May, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntitled Session (21 October, 1961)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction by Symphony Sid (12 May, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDead Air with Symphony Sid (24 March, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeggy's Blue Skylight (12 May, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the A Train (24 March, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTijuana Table Dance (a.k.a Ysabel's Table Dance) (12 May, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFables of Faubus (24 March, 1962\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Can't Get Started (19 October, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEat That Chicken (24 March, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonk, Funk or Vice Versa (19 October, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonk, Funk or Vice Versa (31 March, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease Don't Come Back from the Moon (19 October, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEat That Chicken (31 March, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEat That Chicken (19 October, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReets and I (5 May, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEat That Chicken (26 October, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonk, Funk or Vice Versa (5 May, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonk, Funk or Vice Versa (26 October, 1962)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421373354369,"sku":"2041511","price":7.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5056083212712.jpg?v=1750649912","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2041511","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
