New Mingus Box Set: Changes

[humprof]

Comprising his last seven studio albums for Atlantic--a companion box to the brilliant Passions of a Man set from 1997. This one comes out in June. Can we at least expect a streaming Atmos upmix of the quad version of Mingus Moves, d'you think?

Never got to catch Mingus live. Did catch the Mingus Big Band. Sue Mingus, Charles' Wife introduced them and had a few thoughts on Charles.

Bought the CD-4 of Moves, as well as much of his work on 2ch LP and CD.

Oh man, Changes 1 and 2 are some of my favorite jazz albums.

Wonder how the remasters are, these latter titles haven't been remastered ten times over yet.

Just so you know, they mistakenly used the cover image of the Quadradisc version of Mingus Moves in this package. It's the regular stereo version in this set.
That is all...

I move for a separate Quadio edition of Mingus Moves!

Thanks for this one...ordered!

This looks great. I will wait to see when I can order the upcoming Rhino Quadio and then order all at once.

Really useful review of the set at Stereogum by Phil Freeman. It includes a couple of paragraphs on Mingus Moves, the only album in the set--the only MIngus album, period--to get a quad release. (Fingers crossed that that one will eventually show up in the revived Quadio series!) But for people who don't know the man's music, it also serves as a good introduction about where to start.

I'm stoked to hear them through the ol' Surround Master!

 

[Quadmon]

Maybe the first item I bought all those years ago “because it was surround sound”. Glad I got it but not a big jazz fan.

My set arrived yesterday, going to start to listen today.

I had a good listening and reading session with these beautifully recorded CD's. Mingus was quite the guy, stern composer who expected utter perfection. Tragic way to die with ALS at age 56 1979.
Even though I have a pretty good Jazz library, I never find myself good enough to listen to Jazz recordings and know whos who just by listening, maybe a little Miles Davis I can.
But unlike other genres, jazz seems to elude me, maybe due to its complexity?
I know I like it when I hear it.
I would say the average DR's between all 7 discs is DR 12, the lowest being a 10 and the highest being a 14.
Quite enjoyable.
