-
1957,
a
mammoth
year
for
Mingus.
He
was
on
fire,
recording
several
seminal
titles
including
The
Clown,
Mingus
Three,
Tijuana
Moods,
East
Coasting
and
A
Modern
Jazz
Symposium
Of
Music
And
Poetry.
Now,
with
the
support
of
the
Charles
Mingus
Estate,
New
Land
are
proud
to
present
for
the
first
time,
the
most
expansive
LP
edition
of
A
Modern
Jazz
Symposium
Of
Music
And
Poetry
to
date.
A
wonderful
set
featuring
an
all
star
band
alternating
throughout
of
Jimmy
Knepper
(trombone),
Shafi
Hadi
(tenor
and
alto
sax),
Bill
Hardman
and
Clarence
Shaw
(trumpet),
Dannie
Richmond
(drums),
Horace
Parlan
and
Bob
Hammer
(piano),
with
narration
by
the
fabulous
Mel
Stewart.
This
is
the
ultimate
edition,
including
all
available
outtakes
and
material
related
to
the
session,
with
the
recordings
having
been
remastered
from
the
original
tape
transfers
and
lacquers
cut
by
Kevin
Gray,
housed
in
a
gatefold
sleeve
on
reverse-board
finish
and
printed
by
Pallas.
A
stunning
album
which
is
sometimes
overlooked
from
the
vast
Mingus
catalogue,
however
it
emanates
from
one
of
his
most
creative
periods
and
today
stands
out
as
a
sublime
conceptual
recording.
