The record
Mingus's gospel-shout Atlantic session from 1959, all riffing horns and holy-roller momentum -- this copy a Japanese pressing from the seventies.
Contemporary reception
No period review located yet. The vintage-press pipeline searches DownBeat, Cash Box, and Billboard for this session.
Pressings
The earliest we list is a 1960 Canadian Atlantic SD 1305 in stereo, but the 1960 US mono 1305 with deep groove labels is the same vintage in our data -- treat them as a pair. The UK took it on London Records, LTZ-K.15194 in mono and SAH-K 6087 in stereo. Deep groove carries onto a 1961 SD 1305 repress, so it is not by itself an early-copy marker. The one serious modern cut on file is the 45rpm Analogue Productions APA 001-45 from 2023.
