Charles Mingus: Pre Bird (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) LP

Mercury, 1961

For this 1961 release, Mingus chose music composed before he heard the revolutionary playing of Charlie Parker. The album features large ensembles and includes two swing-era contrapuntal 'mash-ups', with one song playing out of the left channel and another from the right.
