Charles Mingus - Incarnations (RSD Black Friday 2023, LP Vinyl)

The music Charles Mingus and his group (including the legendary Eric Dolphy) recorded during his landmark 1960 sessions for Candid Records—the first in which he was given total creative freedom—produced three of the most revered jazz albums of the era. INCARNATIONS is the fourth great Mingus album to emerge from those historic sessions: a new masterpiece thoughtfully assembled from rare and unreleased material that stands proudly in the Mingus canon of masterworks. Presented in a heavyweight sleeve with period-perfect artwork, liner notes by Pitchfork and Rolling Stone contributor Hank Shteamer, audio restored and remastered by Bernie Grundman, and pressed on 180g vinyl, INCARNATIONS is the Mingus masterpiece nobody knew they were missing. Includes newly discovered, previously unreleased recording remastered and cut by Bernie Grundman.
