These two broadcasts, captured from club radio feeds rather than commercial sessions, give the record its particular character. The 1951 session on Side B is the sharper of the two sonically, the room close and the rhythm section immediate; Buster Harding's Trio anchors the set, and Stan Getz drifts in on three numbers. \"He's Funny That Way\" opens Side B with the Harding group, Holiday working at a mid tempo without hurry. \"Billie's Blues,\" her own composition, is the bluntest statement on the record. \"Miss Brown to You,\" \"Lover Come Back to Me,\" \"Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do\" and the closing \"You're Driving Me Crazy\" complete the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A moves to October 1953, now with the Carl Drinkard Trio. The sound is marginally softer on the original tapes, and reviewers of multiple pressings have noted this difference exists in the source material rather than any manufacturing variation. Holiday's voice shows more wear than two years earlier but none less intensity. \"I Cover the Waterfront,\" \"I Love You Porgy,\" \"Willow Weep for Me\" and \"You Go to My Head\" are the strongest performances here, each given space to settle and develop. Both sessions were announced on broadcast by jazz critics of the period; the atmosphere of the club is audible in the room tone.

Bassist Wilbur Little and conga master Candido Camero complete the rhythm section, adding depth and colour to Jones' propulsive drumming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThe five tracks demonstrate the band's range and Jones' compositional vision. The opening \"Agenda\" establishes the album's energetic tone, while \"Agappe Love\" (Jones' spelling of agape, the Greek word for unconditional love) offers a more contemplative mood. \"Mr. Jones\" serves as a showcase for the leader's rhythmic innovations, with the horns navigating complex time signatures over his polyrhythmic foundation. \"Yes\" features Fred Tompkins on flute alongside the core band, and the album closes with \"Whew\", a title that perfectly captures the exhilaration and intensity of the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThis pressing represents the best of both worlds for collectors: the superior Van Gelder mastering and pressing quality of the original US release, combined with the Japanese market's attention to presentation through the addition of liner notes. The blue and white Liberty-era Blue Note label represents the final years of the label's golden age, while the Van Gelder stamp in the dead wax confirms authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEX\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEX\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObi:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur grading system explained\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Secondhand Grading Guide\" href=\"https:\/\/lushliferecords.com.au\/pages\/secondhand-grading-guide\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto is of the actual item.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42591195529275,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3203\/3339\/files\/IMG_4900_5b191fee-fe23-4a97-9e7a-23546064a98d.jpg?v=1762171130"},{"product_id":"charles-mingus-presents-charles-mingus-japanese-candid-vinyl-lp","title":"Charles Mingus - Presents Charles Mingus (Japanese Candid Vinyl LP)","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1214\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinyl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: EX\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSleeve\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: VG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObi:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur grading system explained \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dpbg4u-d1.myshopify.com\/pages\/secondhand-grading-guide\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ehere\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto is of the actual item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharles Mingus - Presents Charles Mingus\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVinyl LP - Japanese Candid Reissue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eA towering achievement in jazz history, \u003cem\u003eCharles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus\u003c\/em\u003e captures the legendary bassist and composer at a crucial moment, leading a quartet through one of the most intense and uncompromising sessions of his career. Recorded on 20 October 1960 at Nola Penthouse Sound Studios in New York City and reissued in Japan in 1970 by CBS\/Sony, this album documents Mingus with three exceptional collaborators: the visionary multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone and bass clarinet, trumpeter Ted Curson, and the indispensable Dannie Richmond on drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThe album's four tracks represent Mingus at his most adventurous and politically engaged. \"Folk Forms No. 1\" opens with a collective improvisation that builds from whispers to roars, showcasing the group's remarkable ability to communicate without predetermined structures. \"Original Faubus Fables\" is Mingus' furious response to Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus and the Little Rock school integration crisis, a piece of protest music as powerful today as when it was recorded. The bassist's anger and passion drive the composition forward while Dolphy's alto cries out with righteous intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\"What Love\" demonstrates the quartet's ability to move from fury to tenderness, with Mingus' bass taking the lead in a haunting meditation. The album closes with the sardonically titled \"All The Things You Could Be By Now If Sigmund Freud's Wife Was Your Mother\", a deconstruction and reimagining of \"All The Things You Are\" that showcases both Mingus' wit and his willingness to challenge jazz standards and conventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThis Japanese stereo reissue includes the original insert and represents an important document from Mingus' golden period. Eric Dolphy's presence alone makes this essential, as his work here exemplifies the innovation and emotional depth that made him one of jazz's most important voices before his tragic early death in 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Candid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42605905903675,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3203\/3339\/files\/IMG_5054.jpg?v=1762648472"}],"url":"https:\/\/lushliferecords.com.au\/collections\/vintage-japanese-pressings.oembed?page=13","provider":"Lush Life Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
