Our Take
Charles Mingus' "Pithecanthropus Erectus" is a monumental jazz album that stands the test of time like a fine wine that has aged to perfection. This limited transparent purple vinyl release adds a touch of whimsy to an already groundbreaking record. From the moment the needle hits the groove, you are transported to Mingus' unique vision of the jazz world. The title track, "Pithecanthropus Erectus," is a 10-minute journey through time and space, with Mingus' bold bass lines leading the way like a fearless explorer through uncharted territory. Tracks like "A Foggy Day" showcase Mingus' masterful compositions and his ability to blend different musical styles with ease. The combination of bebop, modal jazz, and blues creates a rich tapestry of sound that is both complex and inviting. The limited transparent purple vinyl adds a touch of whimsy to this already iconic album. It's as if Mingus himself is winking at you from beyond the grave, inviting you to join him on this musical adventure. In conclusion, "Pithecanthropus Erectus" is a must-have for any jazz lover's collection. With its innovative compositions, masterful musicianship, and now stunning purple vinyl, this album is a true gem that shines brightly in the jazz pantheon. Highly recommended.
