king ubu Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Wonderful set! Very good to have all of this music in one place ... tends mostly to be overshadowed by other bands Miles let, but there's so much very good music in it, I really enjoy it! I've loved the Lincoln Center concert ever since getting that Great 1964 Concert double disc (or what was it called?), and the Berlin concert is pure magic! Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 Got this yesterday Charles Mingus - Passions of a man - Atlantic (Rhino) Spent most of the day ripping it to my PC and reorganising it into its constituent albums, then downloaded the two tracks from Teddy Charles' 'Word from Bird' missing from the box (because Mingus wasn't in them), but I was damned if I was going to have my first encounter with Teddy Charles on only half an album. So, I couldn't get undisturbed listening time until nearly bedtime last night, and listened to This afternoon, been listening to Ever since I got my first Mingus LP, 'Dynasty', in 1966, I've always (every time I buy a new one) been surprised at how accessible it is.

Bluesnik Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 Also listened to this recently. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 My dog didn't like the title track and 'A foggy day', but he stopped complaining afterwards. Now on the Teddy Charles Word from Bird. The title track is like a smoothed out, but more pretentious, MIngus cut. I can see why Charles wanted Mingus on the date. MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 Now on this one Now on this one, just starting the alternative takes. Woooo, this is nice! Afterwards, I think there'll be time for this before bed Haven't heard 'Tonight at noon' yet. Tomorrow. I shan't listen to the interview until I've absorbed the lot - probably about a year to go MG Quote
erwbol Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 Is the book (120 pages) included with the set? What do the packaging materials consist of? Either way a bargain. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 Is the book (120 pages) included with the set? What do the packaging materials consist of? Either way a bargain. Is the book (120 pages) included with the set? What do the packaging materials consist of? Either way a bargain. If you're referring to the Mingus Atlantic box, there is a booklet with it, but it's not 120 pages; it's 112. Actually, I don't know if it's been done the same as before, but the colours are bleedin' awful in some places! The personnel/dates pages are printed in white and yellow (!) on a background of what's probably some handwritten Mingus music on deep chocolate paper. It's so difficult to read I'm going to use standard discographies. The personnel listing (as far as I can decipher it), doesn't carry release information. I haven't read the text, going to save it for about a year's time, when I'll have listened to the box enough to enjoy them (maybe). MG Quote
erwbol Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I was wondering in case more Warner box sets are reissued this way. They must have at least left out the last page listing other Rhino box sets available. The colours for the previous set's book are the same. Very dark, but printed intelligibly. The table of contents for the previous book are: Foreword (Sue Mingus) ... 5 How Tall Was Mingus? (Joel Dorn) ... 7 He Could Have Played Football For Vince Lombardi (Tod Dowd) ... 11 Man, I Feel Like Hollering (Patrick Milligan) ... 13 Could Anything Be More American (Andrew Homzy) ... 16 Charles Mingus: The Atlantic Years (Andrew Homzy) ... 22 The Need To Tell A Story (Stefano Zenni) ... 50 The Players (Andrew Homzy) ... 60 Charles Mingus Atlantic Sessionography ... 72 Atlantic Album Discography ... 77 Orginal Atlantic Liner Notes ... 86 Selected Bibliography ... 116 Production Credits ... 118 Edited October 19, 2013 by erwbol Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 Near enough the same, I guess: Foreword (Sue Mingus) ... 5 (4) How Tall Was Mingus? (Joel Dorn) ... 7 (6) He Could Have Played Football For Vince Lombardi (Tod Dowd) ... 11 (8) Man, I Feel Like Hollering (Patrick Milligan) ... 13 (9) Could Anything Be More American (Andrew Homzy) ... 16 (11) Charles Mingus: The Atlantic Years (Andrew Homzy) ... 22 (16) The Need To Tell A Story (Stefano Zenni) ... 50 (44) The Players (Andrew Homzy) ... 60 (53) Charles Mingus Atlantic Sessionography ... 72 (65) Atlantic Album Discography ... 77 (70) Orginal Atlantic Liner Notes ... 86 (79) Selected Bibliography ... 116 (108) Production Credits ... 118 (110) Looks like they missed out some photos at various points.
